Here are a few brief notes on some birds I saw yesterday: Point Breeze -
Drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE - in fairly close on the lake just east of the private property next to the park. 1 Common Loon on the west side of the sea wall. 1 RED-THROATED LOON - just east of the break wall at the end of the channel. also present were plenty of Common Goldeneye and Red-breasted Mergansers, plus several Horned Grebes and Lesser Scaup Lakeside Beach SP - Red-breasted Mergansers Horned Grebes Bufflehead Lesser Scaup a flyby Belted Kingfisher small flock of Snow Buntings. Shadigee - 2 Common Loons more Red-breasted Mergs more Horned Grebes flock of both Greater and Lesser Scaup 1 LONG-TAILED DUCK I took some photos of a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE that I found with some Tundra Swans and Canada Geese on a pond at the corner of Waterport Rd (CR 279) and Roosevelt Highway (SR 18). When I got home and looked at the pictures, I realized there were actually 6 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE there. I don't know how I missed seeing them. One final note - 2 of the EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVES on Curtis Rd were sitting on the wires near the 5th telephone pole east of Rt 259 in Hilton, Monroe County when I passed by around 3 PM.
