Birding Part 5

Mega Moose in the morning frost

Hurray for me! I actually took the binoculars today and was able to ID some birds. No camera though. It's too cold to mess with both.

Well the plovers I've been seeing are, I believe, Pacific Golden-Plovers.  *Ack*   Or maybe American Golden-Plovers. I't so hard to distinguish between them. Shorebirds make me as crazy as raptors.

There were dunlins and dowitchers, pintails, mallards, shovelers, green-winged teal, goldeneye, and what looked like a horned grebe.

The white-fronted geese appear to have dispersed. Maybe they took advantage of yesterday's good weather to head to their nesting grounds. I saw maybe a dozen.

There are many, many more birds along the Spit and in the lagoons around Homer. It's best to go out  when the tide is high or else the birds are a mile away. It's still very cold for birding but you do what you have to do....
