in addition Yellow-bellied Flycatcher in the median about 1/2 way to turnaround, a Willet out on a sand bar, and Pine,Palm and a possible Bay-breasted at the turnaround. After hiding for a while, the all brown Blue Grosbeak was seen around 11:30 in the grass near the entrance to the fisherman's lot

The pair of Caspian Terns continue at the boat basin, seen resting on Short Beach earlier and one in flight just now. A Dickcissel was heard repeatedly calling from the outer turnaround as I watched a young White-eyed Vireo chase a Blue-headed in the bushes at the main turnaround. Stacey and Kurt found a bird of interest by the coast guard fence near the fisherman's road, flagging me over to confirm their Blue Grosbeak. Tree Swallow numbers exceed 1000, and there are plenty of Yellow-rumps, flickers, and nuthatches around. A single Blackpoll was the only non-Myrtle warbler IDed, though there have been plenty of rapid flybys and flyovers. Large flock of oystercatchers on the sandbar for high tide now.
