this morning I had my first SPOTTED SANDPIPER by the swan pen at Stewart Park.
Nothing much else besides a few YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS and BLUE-GRAY

into a bush and sang a few weak songs.
In both days there was an OSPREY
Most, if not all, Bonaparte's Gulls I saw this morning were black-headed.

the north. There were Scaup, Bufflehead, and Common Merga
