A nice loon flight unfolded first thing this morning at Huro
Hey all -
A nice loon flight unfolded first thing this morning at Huron Pier for Emil
Bacik and I. Among 343 Commons, two nice Red-throateds passed directly
overhead, and another bird, which given more favorable viewing conditions (i.e.
not seen as a flyover) may very well have proved to be a Pacific/Arctic. This
bird fell intermediate in size between Common and Red-throated, and showed quite
dark, clean markings on the head/neck. A Surf Scoter also passed here, and
several hundred Bonaparte's moved east later in the morning. A lateish phoebe
was also on the walk out.
Nearby, on River Rd. (just east of the Huron River, and south off US-6) two Snow
(one blue, one white) and a pair of Cackling Geese were encountered among 400
Canadas. These birds were grazing in a field adjacent to the Huron Wastewater
Treatment Plant and later rested on the river itself.
Continued trekking eastward along the lakefront turned up nothing else quite so
noteworthy.
Good birding -
