I met Graeme early and we went to Sandy Point for sunrise and gulls. The sunrise went well, but no unusual gulls were found. We did find a couple of victims of environmental pollution, however. Why haven’t we banned plastic bags?
A quick stop at Quiet Waters turned up the Pileated, but Thomas Point didn’t have much to offer except some distant ducks and swans.
Graeme and I and the sunrise.
Sunrise at Sandy Point.
This Double Crested Cormorant is from yesterday at Possum Point.
This young Black Backed Seagull is tangled in some fishing line and has big problems. We notified the rangers about both these birds.
This Black Vulture has both feet tangled in a plastic bag. He could fly, but was greatly hampered.
We were actually searching for these birds, who turned up as I predicted. I’m not usually so lucky.
This the first time I’ve seen a Pileated Woodpecker’s tongue.
