Hey Birders,
Today was very slow. Strong east winds with rain through the entire day hampered migration as well as birding. A Louisiana Waterthrush was seen at Lighthouse Point this morning. No reports have come in of the female Blue Grosbeak, however it is still likely present and will be thoroughly checked for tomorrow. Two Ruddy Turnstones were seen first thing at Fish Point. Whip-poor Will's are regularly being heard from the Municipal Campground and along the East-West Road between the lake and Stone Road.
