Anthus- pipits are my favourite group of birds. I know, not much going on in North America with only 2 to 3 regular species, but they are pretty sexy in Eurasia and Africa.
Now, if you could get a picture of a flock of pipits in front of an Iceberg …
I’m pretty jealous of the abundance of pipit species elsewhere. I’d thought the American Pipits had already left for this season, until I saw this cooperative bird and a couple of others yesterday. Even later for the trip south were a couple of young Lapland Longspurs I saw yesterday while out trying to find the jaeger again. I got a couple of photos of them, but they were weren’t usable.
