A first for us here at Nemesisbird: a video quiz!
The first part of the video features a side-by-side comparison of drake Greater and Lesser Scaup. The birds are far away, and the lighting and resolution is not the best. But this is so often the case when viewing waterfowl in the wild! "National Geographic" cover-photos are the rare exception. The second part of the quiz presents an unidentified Scaup. Take your time to study it, and especially watch how the head shape changes depending on what the bird is doing. Don't rush to judgement...
And, if you're willing... submit your answer to the poll below!
A rare bird in Pennsylvania, the Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus), was found foraging in the Susquehanna River near Washington Boro, PA. It was foraging in the outflow from a water treatment plant, in the company of many Ring-billed Gulls. Set to Basic Space (Jamie XX Space Bass Remix) by The xx.
Birding Adventures TV recently hit Pennsylvania and focused on John James Audubon and Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. Good to see local spots being highlighted! There is some good history information and some nice raptor shots to enjoy.
This Townsend's Warbler was found by Dr. Andy Green in his backyard in Cumberland County, PA. It constitutes the fourth documented record of this species for Pennsylvania. Dr. Green has been an extremely generous host to bird watchers who have "chased" this bird, to visit and see it for themselves.
