Ted Murin and I made a number of stops along the lakefront from Charlotte to
Grand Isle today (2/7). Best bird was a male Barrow's Goldeneye on
Colchester Point Rd., about 4/10 of a mile west of Airport Park. At the
Burlington waterfront, there was a single white-winged gull, but the birds
were so tightly packed we couldn't identify it to species. At the north end
of the railroad causeway in Grand Isle, there were 5 Ring-necked Ducks mixed
in with several hundred Common Goldeneyes. At the corner of Landon Rd. and
Rt. 2 in Grand Isle, there were 27 Brown-headed Cowbirds, and 5 more along
South Street in Grand Isle. We found about 11 Bald Eagles in various places
along the lakeshore.
