Hump wednesday revelation

Well, I didn't hear of any camels or Hump backed whales on Prospect Lake, but two HORNED GREBES will do. In this bad weather phenomenon, that the hope for with rare species that are forced down to wait out storms becomes the pursuit.

Daisy Paul was the beneficiary (among a few) of the double sighting of the HORNED GREBES.;both birds hung off the lake side of the Peninsula shoreline. Daisy posted the checklist with the photos

A good sighting for what usually is a coastal salt water bird

A WOOD DUCK, flagged as unseasonable for the park was spotted by Richard Payne. See his checklist https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S42547383

A dreary day but for some bad weather birders, well rewarded for the effort.
