Barred Owl (Lifer)
Heard's Conservation Land, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, US
These are common this year around me but I had difficult time finding one. Finally, I got lucky when I found this one too close to the trail for my lens. I had to actually step back to fit this one in the frame.

Harlequin Duck (Lifer)

One of the most beautiful sea ducks for sure. Effortlessly gliding over the waves near rocky shores.

Purple Sandpiper (Lifer)
Halibut Point SP, Essex County, Massachusetts, US
Finally manged to get out there to see a Purple Sandpiper. I had missed it by a few feet when it showed up at the Salton Sea. Nice to see the purple sheen on the feathers which gives the bird its name.
