White's Lake, 1 January 2008

I managed a little birding locally today, in between levees and 
socializing.   My first bird was a Black-capped Chickadee, followed 
quickly by American Tree Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, and 
White-throated Sparrow.

I poked around between Indian Harbour (and Paddy's Head) and Lower 
Prospect.   Some highlights:

2 Dovekies at Lower Prospect, one off the wharf, the other in the bay 
to the west of East Coast Outfitters.  I could not find any Dovekies 
in Indian Harbour.

All three mergansers; Red-breasteds were widespread, and I had a pair 
of Common Mergansers at Black Duck Run, and a pair of Hooded 
Mergansers at Lower Prospect.

Pine Grosbeaks at Bayside.  Great Cormorants at Lower 
Prospect.   Bufflehead at Prospect.

In all, a wonderful day to bird, between the storms.

Happy New Year.
