Cape Ann 11/7
From Bill Drummond:
Dear Friends,
It was a nice birding day today at Cape Ann. We did not have any alcids nor did we have shearwaters. But at Cathedral Ledge in Rockport there were great looks at the Harlequins and we were lucky to have a close Lincoln's Sparrow sitting in the same bush with a Song Sparrow. Also at Good Harbor Beach parking, two people got their life Lapland Longspurs. There was a winter plumage female and a first year bird working along on the ground at close range and in perfect light. We worked hard at the Elks hoping for the King Eider but no luck. There were still plenty of Gannets and we had great looks at Purple Sandpipers from the Elks.
Good birding, everyone!
