I hope everyone is having a great long weekend. I ventured over to check out Blackie Spit for the first time. I saw the following:
Canada Goose 15
Mallard 20
Green-winged Teal 6
Common Loon 1
Double-crested Cormorant 1
Great Blue Heron 40
Killdeer 8
Greater Yellowlegs 10
Glaucous-winged Gull 4
Caspian Tern 6
Rock Pigeon 2
Belted Kingfisher 1
Downy Woodpecker 1
Steller's Jay 1
Northwestern Crow 5
Barn Swallow 6
Black-capped Chickadee 20
European Starling 8
Cedar Waxwing 5
Black-throated Gray Warbler 1
Spotted Towhee 2
Song Sparrow 3
White-crowned Sparrow 1
House Finch 2
American Goldfinch 20
House Sparrow 3
I believe that I also saw a juvenile orange-crowned warbler, but can't be sure. I don't have a scope yet (it is on my list of things to buy), which would have made the excursion even more productive, but it was still a great outing.
Here are a few pics:
