Hi all, This afternoon, after searching unsuccessfully for the Hermit Warbler at Sunken Meadow, we went to West End. The Coast Guard Station had 3 Harlequin Ducks, as well as many actively feeding Bonaparte's Gulls. On the very far side of the bay, there were many thousands of Brant on the water.
After an unproductive walk along the edge of the median, we heard and saw a single young male WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL that landed and fed in the pines at the turn-around for 5-10 minutes before flying west again. Other than that, there was little of note. We briefly checked, but did not see the Loggerhead Shrike at the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary.
