Day 8.228 More birds (near water)

Here are some of the birds we saw on our last two walks while our visitors were here. I've given my best effort at identifying them by poring over these and other less-attractive but occasionally helpful photos and Peterson's Birds of Eastern and Central North America.

Firstly at Scarborough Marsh - clockwise from top-left: snowy egret, great egret, glossy ibis, greater and lesser yellowlegs, greater yellowlegs.



Secondly at Timber Island - clockwise from top-left: semipalmated plover, least sandpiper, semipalmated sandpiper or western sandpiper (x2), American goldfinch, common eider.

  1. In spite of consulting an excellent new book (!) I can't offer any helpful comments, but great pictures
