(Greetings All)
Today, Nick picked me up at the University and we went birding. First
stop-Second Cup at Dartmouth Crossing where we saw and photographed the Caspian
Tern (a new lifer for us), along with Herring Gulls, Ring-billed Gulls, a
Killdeer, Semi-palmated plovers, Lesser Yellowlegs, a Rock Dove, and a Crow.
After a while, we had coffee and then went back out but the tern was gone.
Then it was on to Red Bridge Pond where we saw American Wigeons, Black Ducks,
and one Eurasian Wigeon, along with the Pied-billed Grebe and a couple of
Ring-necked Ducks (females). We were hoping to get a flight shot of the Caspian
Tern but it was not there. The day before Nick has photographed it at Red
Bridge Pond with a very large fish. Note-the Tern has a band/tag on the leg but
I was not able to get close enough to get a clear shot of the band or number. I
may try again tomorrow but does anyone know what or where or who to send this
information to?
It was on to MacCormick's Beach and the Shore Road. Across from MacCormick's
was a Belted Kingfisher-no matter how much we try, we have been unable to get a
satisfactory photograph of this bird and today was no exception. We then
continued on to the last barrier towards Hartlen Point where we shot Least
Sandpipers (half a dozen). They are all crouched hiding from the Merlin who
made a few passes looking for them. There were three Laughing Gulls milling
around the golf course (what hole I have no idea but it is the one across where
folks park their cars in front of the military building).
Back at MacCormick's beach, the two skimmers were skimming.
Photographs have been posted to my web gallery and I will post more as soon as I
process them.
