Random shtuff

Alrighty, so I've gotten some 'complaints' for not updating....my bad. Things as per usual have been busy. I came back from the island/PPNP on the 23rd and since then have been back at work, spending last week in the Chat-ham area, and now I'm more or less back, minus the odd few day trip for work/bachelor parties....

To sort of fill you in over the past month, I've uploaded some pics:

Nothing like seeing confused Deer first thing in the am....

 

The month on the island was nice and relaxing, but more or less lacked a good movement or 'dropping' of birds to entertain me. Regardless we had some good birds, most noticeably a Neotropic Cormorant(!) on May 16th.....Looking into my records, May 16th has seen some pretty good birds. In 2008 I had a male Snowy Plover at Long Point.

Coincidentally there was a SNPL in Ohio a few days ago....

We also had a most unexpected Purple Sandpiper on May 10th -- something  very unexpected. Check Mike's Blog to see some pics.

Anyways, this is sort of a mis-match post -- I'm waiting for the Kings to beat the Devils (again). This Friday I'm heading to Las Vegas for the weekend, but unfortunately will be engrossed in non-birding activities....

That's about it for now.
