Can soemone tell me what plovers are common there right now? Given how bad I am at IDing this stuff, I'm trying to see if I even came close before embarassing myself in public (again). Highlights of the morning included some great viewings of a few long-billed curlews (baylands), about eight surf scoters (shoreline lake) including three males, what I think was a goldeneye on the lake, but the sun was behind him so he was sillouetted enough I won't say so positively, four white pelicans who cooperated wonderfully, both flying and feeding (sorry, I'm a sucker for pelicans in flight...), and a couple of ravens out on the marshes near the baylands mudflats... (FWIW, I have a new resident at the bird feeder -- I've had a pair of titmice move in and show up daily. They clearly have a nest around here somewhere, and I first saw them about a month ago, and I saw the female about ten days ago for the first time...) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
