2/28 Black-legged Kittiwate • Smithville Lake


Rare bird alert • Black-legged Kittiwate • Smithville Lake

Lois and I arrived at Smithville Lake at 11am and finally found the Black-legged Kittiwate at 4:07pm floating in a huge raft of Ring-billed Gulls about 750 yards out there. Not very good for photographing but I managed some "documentary" ones.

The Black-legged Kittiwat is my 298th "Bird Species Photographed in Missouri".
