Hi all:
=20
One team hit the field only for this count=2C so we definitely could not co=
ver the whole area during daylight hours. We did well all considered with =
43 species. Highlights were hearing a killdeer at Summerville Beach and 15=
yellow-rumped warblers there. At White Point on the back road with the pr=
otected cove at the end of the walking trial that crosses the bridge=2C the=
re were 24 green-winged teal. At Brooklyn we had four wood ducks. Dorothy=
Poole had discovered a redhead at Liverpool the day before. This bird is =
a young male in the following plumage: partly into its Preformative (somet=
imes termed First Basic) molt. Note the molted gray innermost greater cover=
ts=2C which are "adult" gray - this typical of this plumage. Also=2C the he=
ad especially has a rufous tinge=2C typical of young males=2C and the pale =
band on the bill seems more pronounced than it would be on even an adult fe=
male. This comes from an analysis by Ian McLaren. It was a Brooklyn today =
in close to the bank of the bridge there. It was very rough at Western Hea=
d. The highest waves I've ever seen there. Therefore viewing sea birds wa=
s a challenge. Only one dovekie could be found. At Meadow Brook in Liverp=
ool along the trees there we had 28 cedar waxwings. In Back of the Cemetar=
y in Liverpool in the multiflora=2C we located a yellow-breasted chat. The=
se were the main highlights with a day with no rain and this afternoon clea=
r blue skies and sun. The high was 11 degrees and we could not have asked =
for a better winter in regards to temperature for the count. =20
