Greetings,
Brian Pfrimmer and I just had a Dunlin and a Northern Mockingbird in view at the same time. Both are excellent birds up this way. There is also a late Savannah Sparrow in the area. I reported the Mockingbird last week on eBird and figured it was moving through but I was surprised today when it popped back out on the beach with the Dunlin. There are a lot of Winterberries in the area so it might hang around for a little while longer. Patience is required to see it as it frequently zips in and out of the shrubs. All the above birds were at the Boshkung Narrows. Carnarvon is on Hwy 35, north of Minden. At the intersection of Hwys 35 and 118, turn west and travel a few kilometers to the bridge (under construction). There is a parking lot and boat launch on the south side of the road immediately west of the bridge. The Dunlin and Mockingbird were visible on the beach E of the launch. The Savannah Sparrow was in the grasses immediately W of the boat launch.
