Hey Birders,
Another great day! The wind was the main story, being incredibly strong.
Brandon Holden and I birded the island today and found some good stuff.
Some of the highlights are listed below...
Laughing Gull - 1 adult in a field at the NW end of the island, just south of
the Anchor and Wheel Restaurant
Summer Tanager - 1 adult male at Lighthouse Point - this bird was associating
with an adult male Scarlet on the beach!!
Nelson's Gull - 1 first-basic/alternate, north of Fish Point
Yellow-throated Vireo - 1 at Middle Point
Northern Mockingbird - 1 at both Laughing Gull spot and Stone Road Alvar
White-winged Scoter - 4 flew by Fish Point - this is suprisingly a very rare
bird on the island
Wilson's Phalarope - 1 female in a flooded field on Centre Dyke - same bird as
yesterday
American Golden-Plover - 34 with the Phalarope, most likely the same flock seen
last night
Other interesting migrants seen included; Swainson's Thrush, Red-headed
Woodpecker (4), Orange-crowned, Blue-winged and Blackburnian Warblers.
Directions: email me privately, thanks.
Good Birding,
Ken Burrell (and Brandon Holden)
