Birding since 2006!
Yesterday's bird of the day would have to be the ring-necked duck I saw dozing on the shore...I've never seen one on land before, and it didn't fly or swim off when I tried to approach it!
The snow buntings are a close second, however; I didn't even see them as I was walking along the shore but then three of them flew up off the ground and landed a short distance away! I left the shore and climbed up the small bank to the bike path and managed to get some shots.
Here are my favourite two photos from yesterday.
Larry - I'm jealous of your longspur. I haven't seen any this fall!
