Luckily, I was able to sneak away and go birding at Eagle Creek on Sunday morning and my wife was free so she came along as well. The best birds of the day were all found right after we got out of the car at the first stop. Within a couple minutes, I heard a few flyover Pine Siskins and was shocked when I heard a Common Redpoll flyover. Then, we noticed a Snow Goose mixed in with the hundreds of Canada Geese. When all of the geese started to leave the lake to feed for the day, we found a group of 3 white geese in flight that ended up being two Snow and one distinctly smaller Ross's. We ended up meeting up with our friends Katie, Steve, and Mary Lou at our first stop and spent the morning birding with them. Other than a huge increase in the number of waterfowl, especially Bufflehead, there were not very many birds to be found.

Sounds like it was still a great excursion. the nice thing about those Sunday kinda trips is that, if you didn't think you'd be getting out at all, any bird is a bonus. Or, to be more seasonal now, it's all graaaaavy.
I liked the in-flight bufflehead too; good action shot.
Thanks for sharing.
Can't get much better than a Bufflehead... an awesome duck!
great capture!

...really nice Bufflehead. I've had that craving lately too! Matty and I got out on Friday, but not long enough!
