Hi COBirders, Fall migration is starting!
With an avian biologist/ expert on local birds we saw the first Red Knot of the season migrating South, 7/1/11, on the N shore of Iceland, about 4 km from the Arctic Circle, presumably heading South from Greenland. Saw some great birds - not great diversity, but great numbers of the ones they have. Best: 10 Gyrfalcons (three nests), White-tailed Eagle pair, several male Rock Ptarmigans, Common Eiders by the thousands, with 3 male Kings mixed in, one Female Steller's, and more than a few alcids. Outstanding scenery, food, people,and towns. We loved it. Steve Brown Colorado Springs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
