Greetings All
I spent the morning at Elevenmile and Spinney Mountain Reservoirs yesterday. Elevenmile had 9 Common Loons scattered throughout and a RED THROATED LOON at mid-reservoir. I saw the RTLO just as fog burning off. The bird called a couple times, swam into view, and a few minutes later took off, circled about gaining elevation and flew towards Spinney. There were 7 Surf Scoters, 6 at the far east end. A SHORT EARED OWL was flushed from tall grass at Hartsell Point (I think I got that location correct)
At Spinney, there was a RED PHALAROPE was by the dam, hanging out with coots at the muddy edge. A THAYERS GULL was on the mud near the entrance- a juvenile, likely the same bird at Elevenmile recently.
Good Birding
