Day 15.099: Birds at East Point

As I mentioned, we saw a lot of birds at East Point Preserve on Saturday morning. Here are some I've identified and a couple I have not:

Lots of pairs of common eider floating and flying around:

A black scoter:
And these smaller ducks (unidentified):

On land, we saw this splendid song sparrow - singing of course:

A rather leery veery (I think):

A brown creeper (rather far up the tree by the time I got a shot):

A ruby-crowned kinglet, who even showed a flash of his crown:

And a very hard-to-get but reasonably identifiable golden-crowned kinglet:

It seems the birds have decided that spring is here, even if the weather isn't absolutely sure.
