New England trip; Winter '08

Hap Chambers and I made a whirlwind trip to New England in late January of '08 in search of rarities and northeast specialties. We were very successful, in getting the 3 major rarities (Pink-footed and Barnacle Geese, and Slaty-backed Gull) and most of the specialties we went for. Other highlights included:

King Eider
Harlequin Duck
Eared Grebe
Black-headed Gull
Iceland Gull (25 at one time)
Glaucous Gull
Black-headed Kittiwake (for 10 species of gull on the trip)
Dovekie
Thick-billed Murre
Razorbill
Black Guillemot
Snowy Owl
Northern Shrike
Bohemian Waxwing

We got photos of several of these, which follow. These photos are in chronological order.
