This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_ZFP/MS9YRKyKGDDbHkQM/A) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT On this evening's walk we spotted an adult male Red Phalarope in 95% breeding plumage. White is just beginning to show under the wing and the bill has lost some of its yellow, but otherwise it's a beautiful example of a beautiful bird. This species is extremely rare on the beach out this way. It was foraging on the kelp around the pond at Sandy Cove's beach. I'll put up a bunch of photos tomorrow. There was also an Eastern Kingbird in the nearby trees and freshly fledged Yellow-rumped Warblers were working the stacked kelp heaps. Yesterday I was surprised and delighted to have an adult male Red Crossbill on our sunflower seed feeder by the kitchen window. This is not what I expect to see out here in June.
