Imagine my shock when I arrived at my local reservoir and I got on a juvenile Sabine's Gull while the car was still moving! It appeared with several Lesser Black-backs that really dwarfed it.

The hawk was quite uncommon where we saw it, too (north of Gainesville, FL). Mottled Duck Anhinga...- birdmeister

Glad you connected with the catbird, John! Certainly seems to be improving in your neck of the woods. Most warblers and Neotropical passerines are gone from here, with a few exceptions.- birdmeister

Harlequin Duck is my latest (and long-awaited) lifer. I had great looks at almost a dozen of them at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park a couple days ago. It was my first trip there, and I was not disappointed in the least!- birdmeister
