black red

Very windy all day but did have 2 great northern divers on the lake this morning, riding out the waves. Ventured down Dirk in the afternoon, trying to find a bit of shelter and flushed a black redstart off a recent cliffslide, plus had the wintering whimbrel & 4 more great northern divers sheltering here. Shame there wasn't anything more exotic!  Checked out the pools at Red Strand on the way home and there were the 5 pintail, large as life - and a good deal larger than the other day!
