A surprise on one of the local beaches last week...............
A very late White-fronted Goose. Never seen one in June before....................
There were a few other stragglers around: Wigeon, Tufted Duck, Scaup and Red-breasted Merganser. All presumably sick or injured birds. Or just lazy and/or disorganized.
Lazy and/or disorganized? Sounds like some people I know!
ReplyDeleteCertainly describes me............
DeleteIt is an odd sight for June. Hope it makes it through the hotter months.
ReplyDeleteIt had gone the next time I went (a couple of days later)............
DeleteOdd duck and gulls linger here in summer, too. They're often sick, but some are just non-breeders lacking motivation to head north...
ReplyDeleteI guess if they have food nearby why not stick around?
