Pomarine Jaeger, Kittiwake - Port Huron 11-12

[Cccta@aol.com]

Listers,
 
I spent some of the morning of light north winds at Port Huron and was  
rewarded with an adult POMARINE JAEGER and a juvenile BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE.  The 
JAEGER still retained the long, twisted center tail feathers and was  
backlight - it may have been either intermediate or dark morph. It  flew in from the 
Canadian shoreline several hundred yards offshore and circled  up and 
disappeared into Lake Huron. The KITTIWAKE came up the river and turned  back at the 
rivermouth to head back down past the bridge and was not seen again. 
 
Lots of Scoters - 30+ White-winged, 10+ Surf & at least 3 Black, along  with 
piles of Long-tailed Ducks.
 
Up the coast at Lexington in Sanilac County I had a Cackling Goose with the  
large Canada flock, a flyby Northern Goshawk and a Shrike on M-25 south of 
town.  I was surprised to find 5 Long-tailed Ducks and a Loon inside the harbor 
in  town.
 
enjoying migration but not the short days,
