I stopped by Stewart park later in the morning (11:15) and had a pretty different list of birds. Highlights were a single LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL on the ice edge, flyover KILLDEER, and a stand-out small individual in a flock of 60 flyover SNOW GEESE that I am calling a ROSS'S GOOSE.
Back at home, I had a few flyover PINE SISKINS early this morning, as well as small groups of northbound RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS, COMMON GRACKLES, and AM ROBINS.
