I spent the afternoon at the OMNSA, spending time with the specialty birds and other usual suspects. I heard a Clapper Rail and saw a Seaside Sparrow late in the day just before the trails closed. Many birds (Osprey, Barn and Tree Swallows, RW Blackbirds) are feeding young, and there were numerous Willets, terns, gulls, egrets, night-herons, and ibis. Other birds of note include Peregrine Falcon, two Semipalmated Sandpipers, and a Greater Yellowlegs.
