In an afternoon walk around lake of the isles I saw several species. I =
did not have my binoculars with me and could use help on some of the =
species anyway.
=20
I definitely saw a great blue heron... this seems out of season to me.
=20
Other waterfowl includes
Hooded mergansers
Buffleheads
Red Breasted Mergansers? (A little far away but definitely not Common or =
Hooded)
American Coot
Pied Billed Grebe
Canada Geese
Mallard
=20
Other possibilities
Eared or Horned Grebe? (Very dark small diving birds with crests, near =
hooded mergansers. I am not positive on this I.D. and could use some =
help. If anyone checks the area and has binoculars please give a look.)
Red Necked Grebe (Slightly larger, but definitely a grebe with red on =
the back of the neck... also seen from a distance without binoculars)

Today Tom Auer and I searched and searched for the Spotted Towhee and =
failed again but the home owner saw the bird at 8am this morning. Go =
Figure!
=20
So we birded down along the point to the park and saw the rafts of ducks =
which was larger because of the 25-30 east wind gusts! Today we saw 5-6 =
Black Scoters and 4 White-wing Scoters just inside the park entrance on =
the bay side.
=20
The best bird for the day was a adult and imm. Trumpeter Swan in the =
little cove at the boat launch at Park Pt.
=20
While looking for the Spotted Towhee in the driving rain and heavy gusts =
Tom spotted a huge flock of shorebirds all the same size flying over the =
house. Tom said it at least 200 birds i nthe flock. They might of been =
all Sanderlings. I was watching the lake at 12th street and saw a flock =
of 50 shorebirds about Sanderling size zippimg over 12th street heading =
toward the bay and Tom's flock was heading towards the bay as well.
=20
Other birds:
=20
Common Redpoll visiting the feeder where the Towhee was found.
=20
Its going to be very very interesting what birds might of been blown in =
this 2 day storm. I am hoping for a Purple Sandpiper or a Kittiwake.
