Here it is Monday again, it comes so quickly! Temperature is +9, that's warmer than most mornings lately. Should be a good morning to see some Warblers on my walk. No clue about weather, one site says chance of showers this morning, one says sunny. Guess the best idea is to just be prepared. Fingers crossed I get some things finished off this week.
It did eventually warm up on Sunday but not til after lunch. We headed off to Bear Point in search of the Summer Tanager (red birds on Sundays). Found him, then on to Cape Sable Island where we ran into Johnny and Sandra (local birders) they said it had been quiet around. So since we didn't have a lot of time we headed to Baccaro to check out Crows Nest Beach. I was rewarded with a Piping Plover, a Willet and a number of Common Terns. Naturally there were gulls there and at the Lighthouse. Larry didn't go to Pleasant Point in the afternoon, it was pretty windy and he's got the beginning of the "man cold", dare we have to suffer through that again.
Summer Tanager - a new one for my lifer list.
He's certainly a stunning bird.
Common Tern flying along Crow's Neck Beach.
They nest in the area.
I didn't go too close - didn't want to disturb them or cross through the spots designated as Piping Plover nesting areas.
Lots of kelp, seaweed etc. along the beach.
Not snow, just sand covered.
Enjoy your day!
