Pectoral, Baird's, and Raptors.








Hi Everyone
This afternoon was a windy one but clear so i decided to go to pond cove and look around. My friend Richard was there bird watching and had his scope along. We sighted 4 Pectoral Sandpipers, 1 Baird's Sandpiper, 1 Least, 5 Greater Yellowlegs, and a kingfisher diving for fish. Also high overhead soaring over were Turkey vultures, and an imm. adult bald eagle. A merlin was passing through and 2 Northern Harriers. Lots of green-winged teal at the bottom end of the pond and a few Great Blue herons around. Grey seals were bobbing in the surf and splashing around also.
On my way back to the car i sighted 2 cedar waxwings and more turkey vultures. Her is some pics of the pectoral who was curious of me and a bairds sandpiper.
