I trudged down to the Sunken Forest from Ocean Beach this evening, aiming to be there around dusk.
One Chuck-will's-widow was heard in the west end of the forest, in from the boardwalk leading to the Bay Overlook. The bird was quite a ways in from the trail. Also, a flock of 42 sanderlings and another flock of 9 (all or almost all adult birds) were seen on the beach in that area, negating my earlier post about not even a sanderling being present on the beach this week.
