To continue my string of late-lingering December birds, the RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET is hanging in there for another week at the swan pen at Stewart Park. I also saw at least 3 CACKLING GEESE among the 1000+ CANADAs -- these may have been different from Jay's birds this morning, as mine were all off the middle part of the park, and I know that 3 were seen again in the afternoon at the east end. Two DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS on the lighthouse jetty would also have been exceptional December bird just a few years back.
