The first highlight was a very bright Orange-crowned Warbler set off nicely by the early morning sun and the second highlight was a beautiful juvenile Northern Harrier coursing through the gulley. The surprise of the morning was an adult male Harlequin Duck in fine breeding plumage dabbling in the pond at Sandy Cove's beach. This is behavior I've not seen in a Harlequin Duck before today. I obtained my best ever photos of this species. Last Sunday Laura and I saw and photographed in nearly full frame the two American Coots at Sir Sanford Fleming Park aka the Frog Pond.
