2 lifers! Blue-headed Vireo and Hermit Thrush -- at Blackburn Hamlet fields

5 lifers! Hooded Merganser, Common Merganser, Bufflehead, Osprey, Greater Yellowlegs -- at Morris Island CA

Loved seeing all those ducks!  M & F Hooded Merganser; F Common Merganser; M & F Bufflehead.  Super neat!

3 lifers! Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Eastern Phoebe -- in Orleans along river

So fun! Also saw a duck that I can't quite identify -- had a solid rusty head with plain body, maybe a Redhead Duck?  But I can't be sure.  -- Oh, maybe a Green-winged Teal and I just was too far away to make out the other colour on the head? And a sparrow-looking thing a defined rusty cap, and quite a rusty tinge to some of the body/wings -- couldn't figure out who that was.  Guessing either a Swamp Sparrow (would be a lifer) or a Chipping Sparrow. And several wood ducks, including some who flew up into a tall tree.
