This dawn I relocated the BLUE GROSBEAK singing atop the trees
in the same location previously posted. It visits the tall trees
along the access road to the Mallard Ponds and the trees that
border the open field on the west side. I'm wondering if it's a
1st summer male (all brown) from its behavior. No sign of an adult
male.
Shorebirds seem to be disappearing gradually and today the only
notables were 2 RUDDY TURNSTONES at Sand Point.
A couple tern species were distant as were a Franklin's Gull and
Ring-billed Gulls.
