Richard Thomas reported a tern (probably Arctic) on PCS beach on
Friday. Also 7 Black Scoter including 4 males with their big yellow
knobs - hence not Common Scoters - in Biscay Bay. And one adult Red-
throated Loon in summer plumage there too.
Tony Power had a Numenius sp. at Long Beach on Saturday, which caused
a bit of a stir. We thought of squeezing it into a MEGA (not an
acronym!), but after a flurry of pics around the net, the general
concensus was a Hudsonian Whimbrel. Not too shabby - Jared thinks
it's only the second spring record for Newfoundland!
Cliff Doran reports 2 summer plumage Red-throated Loons in Cape Mutton
Bay today. Also it seems our White-fronted Goose may still be
around. It was reported behind Ryan's construction in Trepassey and
flew back to Biscay Bay before being chased by a dig and flying back
in the direction of Trepassey.
