Now that I'm back from another trip to Costa Rica I got out a little the last couple days between trying to catch up on sleep and getting some tasks done (much more on the trip to Costa Rica in upcoming posts). I got back very early in the morning of the 3rd and after a few hours of sleep I headed out on a rainy morning and tracked down a number of waterfowl species put down by the weather with 17 species including my first Red throated Loon of the year plus a pair of Blue winged Teal, both scaup species, White winged Scoter and Red breasted Merganser . I also added a Bonaparte's Gull for my effort.
I had an appointment on Friday before a return to work and I was able to get a little birding in early on. There was still some waterfowl around but not nearly as much as yesterday. I also added a few more new species for the year in the county including both Palm Warbler and Pine Warbler. The day was warm to start with a high that eventually got into the 60's and it would be the last warm day for awhile.
I also checked the duck boxes yesterday and two of the three have eggs in them with one with a near complete clutch.
