Weather that featured partial sun with little or no wind created ideal conditions for birding this morning at West End. Just south of the entrance road to the West End marina there were three White-crowned Sparrows. While scoping Jones Inlet we heard birds calling overhead that proved to be four Tundra Swans. The swans flew south over the ocean and then headed west. On the mudflats there were seven American Oystercatchers. Other flyby birds included Great Egret (1)and American Pipit (1). Half-hardies included Ruby-crowned Kinglet (2), Gray Catbird (2), and Hermit Thrush (1).
