First year bird, I tried really hard to make this one a Lesser Black-backed but I was not that lucky. LBBG are know to winter in small numbers on the dike and I have not seen any in 2015.
Had a great time with my first Christmas Bird Count! We out with Elizabeth, Nicole, Tania, and Carrie to observe and document as many different birds as possible. We documented 68 species in our zone. Many of these photos were from a distance, so please forgive the blurriness.
