------=_Part_7128_15101712.1200175914375 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi, Liz and I did some birding/ dog-walking and shopping along the South Shore today. We stopped by Greenfield, and had nice looks at the Varied Thrush - which also posed nicely for photos (I'll post them later). Initially it appeared facing us, perched on top of a tall spruce behind the house, and I saw the rather vertical position and the black chest-band, and just thought it was a Flicker with the sun on it - but it then flew into the tree in the front yard, and it was pretty obvious what it was - and as Pat McKay said last week - what a beautiful bird. Other birds of note included 18 Dunlin at Crescent Beach, and about 100 Gr. Scaup (I didn't see any Lessers or Redhead) keeping very tight formation in the smooth sea off Bayport, + the usual crop of Sea ducks, C.Loons, Horned Grebes etc. -- ################# Richard Stern, 317 Middle Dyke Rd.
