The birds for this week are from a beach trip. We saw a ton of birds including many bald eagles, an osprey, cormorants & peregrine falcon babies.
Double-crested Cormorant
We were able to look through a telescope at a Peregrine Falcon nest with babies
My camera couldn’t zoom in far enough. But, the tiny white thing in the top middle of the grassy area is a baby Peregrine Falcon
House Sparrow
Pigeon Guillemot
Pelagic Cormorants nesting on the rocks.
The white dots on top of the rock are all birds.
Common Murre
Tricky Bird of the Week:
I’m terrible at telling the different gulls apart. I don’t know what exact species these are.
I was able to record 5 new birds this week. Yay! It’s getting trickier & trickier finding new birds as the year goes on.
