Dateline: 8 April 2024
Well, after a beautiful, sunny Sunday, the weather today in Erie County, PA started off high fog + a hint of sunrise, since transitioning to light rain. #Erie_weather_strikes_again. Guess folks will see the eclipse – or not – soon enough. (Forecast still for sun by afternoon.)
Back to birds, celebrating the day with BirdingPI.com’s first sighting this season of amazing Greater Yellowlegs, at outer Gull Point the other Friday:
ID info: This is adult breeding plumage. Versus Lesser Yellowlegs, has a longer, slightly upturned bill, and also significant streaking on the flanks, which Lesser generally lacks.
