Day 19.254: Life bird surprise

Our nature group gathered for a fun but almost bird-free walk at Laurel Hill cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Surprisingly, it resulted in my 13th life-list addition for the week. Here is the unimpressive set of bird photographs:

Eastern phoebe

Gull (likely ring-billed)

Double-crested cormorant 

Chipping sparrow

and then there was this quick fly-by from three ducks. I only took a single photo and at first thought perhaps they were American black ducks but they turned out to be blue-winged teal which, correctly or otherwise, were another addition to my life list. 

Blue-winged teal

A reminder that - even at home - every bird could be a life bird.
