I birded Montrose for a little while this morning, June 6. At this time of the year I don’t have very high expectations and I go more for the exercise than anything else, but I always take my bins just in case. Here’s what a I had:<\/p>\n
Red-breasted Merganser – 1, the continuing female in the lake at the east end of the beach
\nGreen-winged Teal – 1 female in the lake at the east end of the beach
\nBlack-crowned Night-Heron – 1 at the east end of the harbor
\nDunlin – 1, the continuing bird in the fluddle next to the fishhook pier inside the protected area
\nSemipalmated Sandpiper – 16 on the beach inside the protected area
\nGreat Crested Flycatcher – 1
\nAlder Flycatcher – 1
\nBlue Jay – 1
\nMourning Warbler – 2, 1 female and 1 male
\nDickcissel – 1<\/p>\n
The nesting Red-winged Blackbirds are now in kamikaze mode. I was repeatedly dive bombed by an aggressive male near the forbidden zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
