Cape Ann 12/17
From Ida G:
I ran Barbara Volkle's Cape Ann BBC trip today and only Martha Finta joined
in on this frigid, windy, winter day. Yes, it was really cold.
But we did see 37 species of birds. Highlights were one gray-phase SCREECH
OWL in the Lanesville Cemetary, one AMERICAN PIPIT bobbing along the weedy
side of Atlantic Ave in the Bass Rocks section, one COCK PHEASANT, nine Wild Turkeys and over 40 Harlequin ducks. We did not find any Alcids, not even any Guillimots and aside from the Harlequin ducks, Buffleheads and Common Eiders, very few other ducks were seen in the very rough seas.
