Broughton Beach

Rumor around Portland has been that a flock of Horned Larks have been hanging around Fire Station 18 with the Snow Bunting and across the street at Broughton Beach on Marine Drive.  Sure enough, the first thing I see is a group of Horned Larks foraging on the ground.  Yay for a lifer!

  • Horned Grebe
  • Double-Crested Cormorants
  • Canada Geese
  • Gulls
  • Western Grebe

  • Sandhill Cranes
  • American Kestrel 
*Lifer!
