We spent a disappointing morning at JBWR this morning, where the water levels were up in both the East and West Ponds, providing scant habitat for shorebirds. At the South end of the East Pond there was a young Common Moorhen, as well as distant views of a Black Tern and the White Pelican at the Raunt. We had three calling Bobolinks flying over the West Pond, where a Peregrine chased out what shorebirds where there. At Oceanside MNSA in the late morning we missed the previously reported Avocet, though it could have shown up after we left.
Reported By Others: Dickcissel at West End 2 this morning, reported by Bob Kurtz and Rich Kelly.
