I was at the light house at WI Pt. at 7:30am and had the place for =
myself. Between the hours 8-9:00am I saw the following birds.
1. First winter Little Gull ( not the same bird that was found a 2 weeks =
ago). I had wonderful looks of this bird and had good size comparisons =
with Bonaparte's Gulls
2. Pacific Loon ( I took a picture of it thru my scope) This Pacific =
Loon was an adult in winter plumage. I was able to see the chin strap =
and a variety of other field marks. This loon spent all its time on Mn =
waters.
3. Thayer's Gull in first winter plumage. I was able to take pictures of =
this gull on the Mn break wall.=20
4. White-winged Crossbills were in the pines at WI Pt. and not a Mn =
sighting.
5. Surf Scoters (2) flying by this afternoon at Park Pt.=20
10/9 at Park Pt. I saw the same two Western Grebes out from the airport =
buildings. These Grebes have been seen from Wi Pt and Park Pt. for the =
last 2 1/2 weeks.
6. Sanderling feeding amongst the gulls on the Mn break wall.
** I was at 40th Ave. West and so far I haven't heard of any sightings =
today of the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. What time was the sighting =
yesterday 10/09??
