Hi all, I spent a couple hours at Myers this morning and had a nice selection of birds. None remained at the point for more than a few minutes and most didn't even land. Highlights included a high flyover calling Upland Sandpiper and a Baird's Sandpiper that flew down toward a group of Least Sandpipers on the spit. Instead of landing the Leasts took off and all departed to the southeast. There were seven Blue-winged Teal early in the morning and two that came in about 7:30 with a single Green-winged Teal.
There was also a nice movement of Bobolinks, with at over 300 total. Other landbird highlights included Red-breasted Nuthatch, 8 Purple Finches, Northern Waterthrush, Chestnut-sided Warbler and Blackpoll Warbler.
