There were 20 HARLEQUIN present as well as 50 PURPLE SANDPIPERS including "Old Whitey" an unique plumaged sandpiper with white wings and black head and breast that has been wintering in this location for many years now. Great Cormorants seen had white flank patches and a Black Guillemot just east of Sheet Harbour was in breeding plumage although all others seen were still in winter plumage. Two male Ring-necked Pheasants on Sober I. were in wing-wing combat. We had a quick look at Sheet Harbour on the way back and as we pished out a group of 20 BC Chickadees, we noted 2 PINE WARBLERS with them, one bright yellow and one quite subdued in colour. This was along the road to the campground along the East River. cheers Ken Location: Sober Island Observation date: 27/02/11 Number of species: 33 American Black Duck 52 Mallard 1 Common Eider 25 Harlequin Duck 20 mostly males Surf Scoter 4 White-winged Scoter 4 Black Scoter 6 Long-tailed Duck 64 Bufflehead 5 Common Goldeneye 41 Hooded Merganser 5 Red-breasted Merganser 12 Ring-necked Pheasant 7 Common Loon 14 Horned Grebe 3 Red-necked Grebe 3 Great Cormorant 17 Bald Eagle 2 Purple Sandpiper 50 Tide was low but starting to rise during our obervation period.
