May 7, 2014

So today was a pretty good day, a somewhat challenging day. I went to Black Point Marina and found 3 confirmed species and enough dog crap to sink a ship. People are seriously disgusting. The species I found weren't what I was hoping for (I chose this spot hoping for herons), but still very important. These represent the first confirmed records for this block.

Where I spent my morning before work. Nbd

Royal Terns and a Killdeer in the middle.

Mourning Dove in incubating position. It's amazing that I walked right by two of these on my way in, but noticed them on my way out. I'm devoting so little time to this endeavor, how many interesting things will I miss?
Fledgling Northern Mockingbird. His parent dive-bombed me twice. Much scarier than it sounds.

I spent a lot of time haggling between Boat-tailed or Common Grackle but in the end I went with Common. I wish I had the time to watch their behavior.

Common Nighthawk, a new species for the blog I believe.
