Avery 1,945 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 FINALLY got Redheads today!!! Along with a drake tufted duck and a continuing Canvasback I found a week or two ago, the lake was windy and exciting! Inland I had 4 different Hoary Redpolls, and a rostrata/Icelandica CORE! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chipperatl 682 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Black-legged Kittiwake!! All I was looking for was waterfowl on the river to up my February numbers. Almost didn't even stop. Pulled in to a snow covered pull-off with my dog, and it flew by and landed where I was able to get decent looks at it. Lesson learned, have the physical field guide with you. I searched on 'Gull" in the Sibley app to rule out Little Gull. The dark collar bothered me, so finally gave it a second look at home and flipped through the guide and said "Wait Kittiwake has a dark collar", then looked much closer at my pics.
