Oops- sorry everyone, that wasn't intended to go to the whole list, but while I'm at it I may as well note a few other things we saw on Saturday on a quick jaunt around the Dead Creek area. A male and female harrier were hunting together along Gage Road and providing very nice views, and a single greater black-backed gull flew over the new Champlain Bridge (along with several ring-billeds) while we were climbing it in the wind. I'm sorry we missed Ted and his scope!
