Rob Jett and I were handed the baton from Shane Blodgett and stayed at Plumb Beach till 2pm along with Bobbi Manion, the original finder. No luck with the target species, but a flyover Red-throated loon in serious molt proved exciting! For those wondering, no marsh sparrows were seen or heard during our time there and none were reported by birders there since first light.
Also, earlier at Marine Park a late Cliff Swallow was seen flying south and away along the channel.
