You know your girlfriend loves you when she drags herself out of bed on a lazy Sunday morning to go birding with you in the rain :) It may not have been the best day to be out in the Ramble (the rain was steady and bone-soaking), but it made up for our dismal day a couple of weeks ago. Some nice, close views of Common Yellowthroats, American Redstarts, Magnolia Warblers, and a White-eyed Vireo. And now my year list is up to 102!

Spectacled Eider (Somateria fischeri)
…is a large species of sea duck native to the coasts of Alaska and Siberia. Like other sea ducks the spectacled eider dives for its meals which usually consist of molluscs and crustaceans. The spectacled eider like other eider species is sexually dimorphic as males sport a striking white, black and green coloration while females have a more modest chocolate brown coloration. During the breeding season eider pairs will move inland to tundras close to the sea to lay their young.

Blackburnian Warbler (by Ryser915)
I love these birds, but they’re so hard to find since they mostly stay up in the tree tops.
