A Few Unusual Birds

Migration is in full swing. Here are a few birds that I see every year, but they are still a bit unusual.

Marbled Godwit

 

Willets

 

American Pipits

 

Common Loon. Sorry, the photos aren’t that great, it was really overcast and they were a long way off.

 

These are summer residents

Western Grebe

 

with a Lesser Scaup (the scaup is a winter bird that hasn’t headed north yet)

 

These are year-round residents

Red-winged Blackbird

Canada Geese with goslings
