There was lots of bird activity at Lake Cunningham this afternoon! The most interesting finds today were a SAY'S PHOEBE (I saw one on three different occasions in different areas of the park... either that bird got around, or there are several there), and a noisy RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH in the pines which border the Parking A area. A RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET lifted up his red crown to a peak and bullied the other kinglets in the same area. A flock of swifts swarmed overhead.. Thought I saw white patches on the sides of one of the bodies (WTSW?) As I was leaving, heading west on Cunningham Road, I glanced through an empty lot to the huge field of Ocala Middle School, where I could make out two white blotches in a huge flock of Canada Geese which were providing Alum Rock School District with a much needed lawn trimming and fertilization job. I parked off of Ocala near the school and got great close looks at my first SNOW GOOSE. Hanging out with the SNGO was a ROSS'S GOOSE! It was a nice way to study the two, as they were quite co-operative. The head shape of the two birds was quite different, and the way the bills connected to the heads also differed. There was a large gap and dark patch in the bill of the SNGO, and the ROGO's bill was purple-ish at the straight base. The flock was still there when I left at 1:30 this afternoon. Happy Goosing!
