Stopped off at Bradford Beach this morning before work. Hundreds of Bonaparte's Gulls were on shore and in the water. It was enjoyable to watch the flurry of activity as they took off and landed when spooked by a guy with his dog. I also stopped at Lake Park, but didn;'t see anything out of the ordinary. I finished hte quick morning vist with a stop at the Veteran's Park Lagoon. Sparrows and Red-einged Blackbirds were most notable. I did see a pair of goldfinches. The highlight of the morning was the four Ruddy Ducks on the lagoon. Two were more brightly colored than most of the other paler gray-ish ones I've seen this week. One in particuilar was bright brown, black, and white with a blue bill. Very nice.
