I hoped to see one at Parker River Sanc.and here he is! H was about a mile away, but at least I have him, and in the scope he was magnificent! Only the second one I have seen.
I did my annual trip to Westerly to play with the brass in the pit for the "12th. Night" performances, (a bit sad, George Kent's final 12th nt), and went down to Watch Hill to birdwatch. Two photos from that trip, a hawk (Cooper's?) and a Surf Scoter.
Strange birding. The yard is totally without a bird for several days, and then for about 15 minutes, I have Rebellied, Downy, Chipping, Junco, Cardinal, Goldfinch, and the return of a bluebird. Here he is.
As is my usual practice, I got up at 5:00 AM on New Years day and drove to Provincetown, where I did my first birdwatching for the year. I found 39 species to start the year, including these two, one is a horned grebe in winter garb, and the other is a hawk which I am not sure about, probably a Cooper's. Any suggestions?
