i visited RMSP this morning with the intention of doing a sea watch but was frustrated by abundant fog. However, while driving around the park I noted good numbers of White-throated Sparrows, eventually tallying 145 birds. As the rain let up I started to see small number of migrants along the shoulder of the parkway, including Swainson's Thrush (1), Great-crested Flycatcher (1), Scarlet Tanager (1), Indigo Bunting (1), and Baltimore Oriole (2). It would be interesting to see if this is just a localized movement or whether there were birds at other barrier beach locations.
