Hi Everyone, I was by the coast guard station from around sunrise to 7am- lots of shorebirds including Oystercatchers, groups of Willetts, semi palmated sandpipers and plovers, and sanderlings. One of the semi-palmated sandpiper had a yellow tag on its leg- took a photo but lighting was bad and couldnt make out the letters/ numbers - will upload and enhance the photo later so I can try to report it.
I briefly checked the vernal ponds for the Red Phalarope- only checked the western pond cause I had to get to work- just curious if anyone has seen it after my sighting I posted on ebird? (reported 8:00pm June 24th) On a sidenote, weather was pleasant and didnt have any mosquitos or gnats at all.
