I stopped at Myers this morning at ca. 0720h. I didn't see any migrant shorebirds. An Osprey was on the snag at Salt Pt. and the expected residents were about including both Common and Hooded Mergansers with brood.
I also want to add a vocal Canada Warbler to Mark and Tilden Chao's list from this morning. Jesse Ross and I saw the bird in the buckthorns on the high end of the pond leg of the Wilson North at about 0830. Late yesterday I birded Inlet Rd. which should be pinned on the google map link below. At about 1930h I saw a Common Nighthawk rock and roll up the inlet and off to the southwest. I had another sighting far off to the south at about 2030h which I thought might have been the same bird I saw earlier. Seems like a good spot to look for nighthawks .
