Saw a Kingfisher and Great Blue Heron Jan 4 -- walked West Island State Res. for SEANET - Good views of Short-eared Owl. At one point he was mobbed by a Herring Gull who snapped at him with its bill while a Black-backed Gull flew around making a very odd noise. The speckled Canada Goose has been around for months...must be some form of albinism. There was another similarly marked goose too. After lunch went to Mill Road and got a Red-shouldered Hawk and a Fox Sparrow. January turkeys at the soccer fields by Eric Birkeland
