The Possum Pt/Cockpit Pt area of Dumfries (known to local birders as The
Point), had a nice selection of waterfowl this morning. These included a
cackling goose mixed in with a flying flock of Canadas, a tight flock of 30
redhead mixed in with a large raft of coots, a large raft of over 100
cormorants, and a red-necked grebe in transition to breeding plumage. Also
of note were a peregrine perched on the red-and-white smokestack of the
powerplant (the stack with the nest platform), osprey, greater yellowlegs, 3
singing phoebes, and a palm warbler. The complete list of 66 species is
below. In addition, a woodcock was displaying behind my house at about
6:45am.
