birds lately

I am in Alabama and here is a list - not complete - of the winter birds I have seen over the holiday week. Mostly the usual suspects but a few new ones for me.

1. Bonapartes gull - out on the pass with some
2. Skimmers
3. Sanderlings
4. Savannah sparrow or possibly a song sparrow
5. Common loons
6. Cormorants - a lot
7. Least terns
8. Royal tern
9. Many ospreys
10. White pelicans (on Mobile bay)
11. Carolina Wren at the outside bar at Pirates Cove

I know the winter ducks are here and I have even seen a few when we were out in the boat. But I couldn't get Steve to slow down enough for an id.

12. White throated sparrows
13. Tons of pine warblers
14. Gold finches

Funny. I tried last winter to get the gold finches with thistle but none came. This year, here they are messing with my mind by looking all pine-warblery and eating the sunflower seeds.
