Hello birders,

I spent an hour down at Eagle Point today. Eagles were out in full force-incredible sight today. Birds of interest included seven Dunlin walking the mud flats, many Tundra Swans, and one Peregrine Falcon sitting in a tree watching the hundreds of Green-winged Teal.

Other birds included:
Trumpeter Swans
Bufflehead
American Wigeon
Common and Barrow's Goldeneye
Common Merganser
Gadwall
Mallard
Pine Siskin
Dark-eyed Junco
Song Sparrow
Winter Wren
Spotted Towhee
Downy Woodpecker
Common Raven
Northwestern Crow
Mew Gull
Glaucous-winged Gull
Herring Gull
Golden-crowned Kinglet
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Red-winged Blackbird
Steller's Jay
Great Blue Heron
Belted Kingfisher
Black-capped Chickadee

There was also a Dipper in the creek that runs through the golf course.

Good birding,

Good report Brent. You weren't able to turn any of those Green-winged's into a Eurasian were you?

Hi Kevin, yes we moved in mid October. We have really been enjoying the Eagle show out here. It is amazing to think that the most common bird you see from you backyard are Eagles.

Murray, I have been checking the large flock of Green-winged's looking for a Eurasian. I believe Gord spotted one during Eagle Fest so if I relocate I will definately post.
