Eagle activity has come to a bit of a lull the last couple of days, but we have been finding a few birds, including a real surprise!
Short-bill Gulls are starting to show up. These small gulls dive for the salmon eggs, rather than being interested in the salmon themselves.
We also have one or two Ring-bill Gulls, identified by the yellow legs, eyes and ring around the bill.
there has been one lone Greater Yellow-legs Sandpiper hanging around too.
But the real surprise....
was spotting this White-throated Sparrow yesterday! Although related to both the common White-crowned Sparrow and the Gold-crowned Sparrow, the White-throated is more common east of the Rockies.
We still have quite a few...
American Robins in the area. This one was posed nicely in some fall foliage.
So let's end with a rainbow, seen the other afternoon. We will see if the water levels are any higher after the current rainstorm is finished.
