I went to Myers and then Salt Point late this morning. Highlights at Myers
included several COMMON LOONS off shore and a BONAPARTE'S GULL and two
GREATER YELLOWLEGS on the spit. A CASPIAN TERN briefly circled overhead and
flew off. There was also a small raft of BUFFLEHEAD off the spit.
At Salt Point, I bucked my tradition and did a little birding in the rain.
Highlights were a PALM WARBLER with a few YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS and a
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER.
My eBird checklists are below.
