After receiving word of a probable Red-Throated Loon at Lake
Runnemede, Ed Hack, George Clark, and I, spent the morning looking for
this bird and others. We were not disappointing. The Loon was close to
the gazebo in great light, providing fantastic views of a species most
often found bouncing between ocean waves.
Not to be missed, the Geese flock keeps growing, and still contains at
least on Cackling Goose. No Coots today.

Elsewhere, we found two flocks (~40) of Snow Buntings, but
unfortunately only in flight. In the fourth field we checked, we found
8 Horned Larks, although there were probably more mixed with the
buntings.

Good Birding,
Spencer
