Hello, I stopped by Jester this afternoon after work. Did not see the avocets. No Sabine's gull. There were many Franklin's. No unusual shorebirds.
Like Denny and the Armstrong's, i did run into a nice mixed flock of migrant passarines. Blackpole Nashville Black and white Yellow Yellow-rumped Orange-crowned And pine warbler Y-b cuckoo is still singing Purple finches R-c kinglet G-c kinglet Flock of w-c sparrows. Good birding everyone.
