Back to a week ago Saturday at outer Gull Point, Presque Isle State Park, fairly quiet except for beautiful 3x American Tree Sparrow and 1x Peregrine Falcon:
Turned cold again yesterday in Erie County, Pennsylvania, with a couple inches of snow overnight last night and this morning. Conditions at Presque Isle seemed very muted in terms of “not gull, not waterfowl” activity, but quite active for both those (gulls, ducks, and swans). More on this later, including our first sighting/pictures this year of beautiful Hooded Merganser!
