Hello Birders, Tip action built up early morning with sightings of a reported Lesser Black-backed Gull, Dickcissel, over 30 American Avocets, and a lingering Sanderling.
Over at Woodland Nature Trail, Blue-Winged Warbler was notable and Prothonotary Warbler has been consistent as well. Another Prothonotary Warbler was Sighted on Shuster Trail as well. On Tilden Woods Trail, we had Golden-winged Warbler and an Olive-sided Flycatcher was seen in its best vest. The seasonal footpath north of Tilden Woods Trail yielded a Cerulean Warbler, seen well. Between Dunes and Northwest Beach on the seasonal path, there was a Yellow-breasted Chat. Further north, Northwest Beach produced a Clay-coloured Sparrow and Summer Tanager.
