Forwarded for Spencer (Norwich):
After receiving word of a probable Red-Throated Loon at Lake Runnemede,
George Clark and I joined Ed Hack for a morning of looking for this bird
and others. We were not disappointing. The Loon was close to the gazebo
in great light, providing fantastic views of a species most often found
bouncing between ocean waves.
Not to be missed, the Geese flock keeps growing, and still contains at
least one Cackling Goose. No Coots today.
Elsewhere, we found two flocks (~40) of Snow Buntings, but unfortunately
only in flight. In the fourth field we checked, we found 8 Horned Larks,
although there were probably more mixed with the buntings.
