This reminds me, I meant to post earlier.There was a EURASIAN WIGEON in the
Golden Gardens Pond this morning, first I've seen this winter. In the Sound
were the same birds Kevin mentioned, very small numbers of Grebes, mostly
Red-Necked and Horned I saw, BUFFLEHEADS, Goldeneyes and Scoters I
couldn't ID for sure. At home I've been seeing at least three ANNA'S
HUMMINGBIRDS, a male, a female and a Juv. The male was around all weekend,
noisy thing, then the female took over this morning after a brief fight. I
could have more than three but I can't tell so that's all I count.
