Hi all, Tim Lenz found a shorebird on the red lighthouse jetty from Stewart Park at midday today that turned out to be a DUNLIN. It was still there when I left, on the northern part of the jetty. Yesterday morning Tim found a late juvenile SANDERLING in the same area, on the red lighthouse jetty. It stuck around for a little while before taking off for no apparent reason and flying away to the south. A couple of photos here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32324206 Some other nice birds are still around the south end, including a lingering juvenile BRANT, female LONG-TAILED DUCK, two female SURF SCOTERS, and 30-40 RUDDY DUCKS.
This morning I walked around the Roy H. Park Preserve and was successful in my primary goal–a flyover EVENING GROSBEAK! It may have been part of a small flock but I only heard a single bird calling, distant to the south along the southern trail. Full list with a poor recording here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32337291 Lots of reports of grosbeaks over the past week, so keep an eye out and those feeders full! Several PINE SISKINS and PURPLE FINCHES also flew over.
