Richard Littauer<p>Two new dream observations last night. First, a large murmuration of Variable Oystercatchers. I saw 2% of the global population, flying over one field. They don't normally fly in large flocks like this, so that was cool to witness. </p><p>Second, the first time one has ever been taken by a Peregrine Falcon, which was also a lifer (#93)!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ebird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ebird</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dreambirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dreambirds</span></a></p>
Richard Littauer<p>Four lifers last night! Silver Gull and Kelp Gull – surprising, as I've lived here for almost a year now.
