Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside, 16 Sept A bit of a movement (finally). Along the walk, there were a half dozen COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, a YELLOW WARBLER, 6 PALM WARBLERS (western) and a SAVANNAH SPARROW. In the marsh were 2 SEASIDE SPARROWS and 6 SALTMARSH SPARROWS. Overhead a foraging NORTHERN HARRIER.
Aside from a few LEAST SANDPIPERS and GREATER YELLOWLEGS, all the shorebirds were concentrated in the pool to the west of the pond. Shorebirds there were mostly BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER (~30), both YELLOWLEGS, a few SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS and some peep.
