Barb Saunders and I (Ardith Bondi) found about a dozen Common Redpolls
foraging in the median across from the entrance to the Coast Guard
Station. They were accompanied by several Red-breasted Nuthatches.
Otherwise, a scarcity of birds. Someone reported having seen American
Pipit, but we did not. There were a few Yellow-rumped Warblers, lots of
Starlings and Red-winged Blackbirds, and a couple of Song Sparrows.
We stopped at Field 10 where there were several Ruddy Turnstones picking
at whatever was growing on the dock pilings. In the water, were a few
Red-breasted Mergansers, a smattering of Brant and Canada Geese. One
Common Loon was feeding not too far out from the dock.
We did pass quite a few American Crows, but even the gulls were mostly MIA.
