Long-tailed Duck at Lakeshore State Park and Spring Birds at the CGI

The water along Lake Michigan is finally thawing out. I actually became a little giddy when I saw the shoreline at South Shore Park receding. The CGI was hopping--no "rare" birds, but still a good time. Gulls are still around...oh, spring! So exciting! And I finally manged a decent Bufflehead photo (above). Other birds seen today: Red-throated Loon, flyover Common Grackles

  1. You're good identifying birds, your pics are helping me some with the water birds.
    The water bird pics have a nice background with the waves of water. Really cool.
