Hi Birdforum peeps.
I’m Donna from foggy Logy Bay, Newfoundland.
It been since April 3rd our weather has been bad and not much birding going on. I did spend 2 hours looking for a Ruff that accidentally came here at an old racetrack in the Goulds, part of city of St.John’s. We did get lucky to see a Fieldfare in the deep of Winter. It stayed around for a few days eating Hawthorn Berries. We had a Tennessee Warbler make it through the whole Winter with the help of one dedicated man who shoveled out his mealworms/peanut butter at two in the morning after several snowstorms.
It’s well and happily singing in the trees. Also a wayward Yellow Breasted Chat stay from November until March 10th. We are hoping that a break in good weather made it fly south. Also a Northern Mockingbird made its home in a hedge in the middle of St. John’s surviving on Privet Berries.
I joined to ask about a photo I took of a Double Crested Cormorant. It has a top knot of white feather plumes. I couldn’t find any research for this Cormorant’s head feathers. It’s not the white crests behind the eyes.
I wondered if it’s a hybrid or a mutation.
