Mistaken Identity: Doppelganger

Many thanks for the correction.
Everyone should go to her blog site for some fantastic photographs.
Most of which were taken here at Deep Harbour.
Check out the bald eagle photo.


Good Morning George,

I just saw your post on the Scaup, and wanted to kindly let you know they are actually Lesser Scaup and not Greater Scaup.  There are slight differences between the two, I attached one of my favorite Scaup charts that really helps with ID.  The top of the head is peaked at the back for Lesser, peaked at the front for Greater.  Also Lessers will sheen a purplish/greenish tint on the head, Greaters only greenish tint. 

I hope I’m not offending you.  I am avid birder; I’ve loved the winter ducks here on the creek, it’s been quite special.  If you check out my blog, you’ll see a couple ‘rare’ ducks we’ve had as well that have come & go frequently.  (Long-tailed Duck, Golden Commoneye – both don’t normally come so far inland esp. around population). 



Did you see the Eagle on the Osprey platform last month?

If you have any questions about any birds, please feel free to email me.  I would be more than glad to help with IDs.

Regards,


Donna W

High Spot, Stoked aka Yardbird, & Rock Lobstah CLOSE!

Source: WBOC News

CAMBRIDGE, Md. - Three downtown Cambridge restaurants have closed their doors for good just weeks apart. Some people in the area say the restaurants will be sorely missed.
On Thursday, construction workers got down to business on High Street just feet away from the now shuddered restaurant known as The High Spot. The paper posted on the front door declared it "permanently closed."

Around the corner, RAR Brewing business owner JT Merryweather says it's sad to see a fellow businessman go. Patrick Fanning owned The High Spot as well as the restaurants Stoked and Rock Lobstah.

"I would say I was shocked actually," Merryweather said.
But business owners like Merryweather and Downtown Cambridge's Executive Director Katie Clendaniel say the closures are nothing to worry about. Clendaniel says a new retail store now occupies the old Rock Lobstah. There's also growing interest to rent space in both Stoked and The High Spot.

"There are very good things coming," Clendaniel said. "It's a really great sign for downtown because it means that people are interested and will continue to invest here."

WBOC tried reaching out to Fanning about why he closed all three restaurants but were unable to get comment.

The building owners said in a statement they were disappointed to see Fanning go, calling him a "pioneer restaurateur."

Who are those small ducks visiting Deep Harbour?

For weeks, I have wondered where these little guys come from.  They appear to winter here.  
What are they called?  
Why don't they fly to Florida? (I would if I could fly.)
