182. Red-breasted Merganser

 

[Nightjar61]

Gusty wind and intermittent snow flurries today, so I was rather surprised to see a very early spring migrant. My earliest record for this species.

87. Tree Swallow

Dave

This winter has been quite warm, and spring has come early, so I had basically given up on any new geese species until fall. Turns out I shouldn't have, as I picked up a new goose and several other new species this afternoon, despite incredibly high winds.

87. Horned Grebe
88. American Coot
89. Pied-billed Grebe
90. Red-breasted Merganser
