There was a mild reverse movement from about 7- 9 a.m. at Fish Point this morning consisting mainly of several hundred Baltimore Orioles, a few Orchard Orioles, Yellow Warblers, and a few Indigo Buntings. An immature Lesser Black-backed Gull showed up at the tip briefly and a Neotropic Cormorant flew by at about 7:30 a.m.
The annual Botham Cup 24 hour bird race finished at noon today with ten teams competing to observe the most species. Only 128 species were tallied in total reflecting the general lack of arrivals so far. There was an unconfirmed report of a Western Tanager from the north shore (no details).
