12-05 - 12-16-18
Most of December was a very mild month, with very few birds of interest at Boomer Lake.
We had more Herring Gulls than usual, one or two in a couple of hundred Ring-billed Gulls was normal, but we have seen double, sometimes triple those numbers this winter.
The Lesser Black-backed Gull has visited several times, along with a Glaucous Gull that came in once or twice.
Common Mergansers were all over the state more than usual, more than the normal Red-breasted Merganser.
This irruptive year also brought Purple Finches, as well as Red-breasted Nuthatches to mostly the northwest corner of Boomer Lake several times.
Hungry hawks have also been here, but not nearly the numbers that we saw last year--yet. Winter has only been here for a month.
Ducks were very rare in December, too, but there will be a few changes with occasional cooler mornings in January.
