Gary, Stu, and I spent an hour this morning observing on and around
the spit at Myers. Highlights included a SANDERLING and a small flock
of DUNLINS on the spit, several hundred DOUBLE CRESTED CORMORANTS
flying by (north), a single CACKLING GOOSE in with the Canadas, three
WILSON'S SNIPE flying over, GREEN-WINGED TEAL in with the Mallards,
and a possible pair of FORSTER'S TERNS flying by.
A subsequent stop at Stewart Park turned up at least 116 PIED-BILLED
GREBES. The red jetty was clean of unusual birds.
From there we went up to the Freese Rd gardens where we found no
Lincoln's Sparrows but over a dozen WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS as well as
Chipping, Savannah, Field, White-throated, Song, and House Sparrows.
No buntings. Dozens of goldfinches and a few House Finches. And dozens
of TURKEY VULTURES moving slowly past.
At home right now I am watching two more groups of TV's numbering
around 40.
