March Point

On Sunday, November 1, 2015 I set out in the hopes that the Long-billed curlew might again be in the fresh-water pond near the Northern Lights Casino.  On the way there, on West March Point Road, I found the curlew in the middle of the road.  The only other vehicle I encountered on the drive overtook me and spooked the curlew, and it appeared to fly behind the fence surrounding the refinery.

However I made the most of the trip, photographing this Orange-crowned warbler along the way…

I also obtained several interesting photos of Black turnstones feeding in adverse conditions, moving onto and around logs that were being moved by the wind and waves.

And what can offer keener sight than a pair of Bald eagles eyes?  Two pairs of eagle eyes!
