Bird Sightings

Here is Laura Titus list from NatureNS on October 18

Just passing along a couple of interesting sightings from yesterday at my parents' backyard in Westport. Amongst the mass of blue jays and starlings was a baltimore oriole which hung around for a while but hasn't been seen again. There were a number of cowbirds and common grackles at the feeders, one of which was a partial albino grackle. It's head was all pure white and it had white patches on its belly. I hadn't seen a bird before with lack of pigment, although I know it can be somewhat common, so it was special to see.

Also this afternoon I saw a bald eagle on the rock ledge at the southern side of Peter's Island.
