When I left at 8:15 five species of shorebirds (1 each) shared the mud & gravel island in Salmon Creek by Myers Point:
Killdeer (plus 1 or 2 others elsewhere around the park)
Lesser Yellowlegs
Pectoral Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
On the spit a Common Tern rested on the beach, while Ring-billed, Herring, and Great Black-backed Gulls rested elsewhere on the point. Earlier the Common Tern had been flying about foraging or perched on a bit of wood which stuck out of the water.
Other fun birds included an immature Caspian Tern, Osprey, Belted Kingfisher, Eastern Kingbird, female Baltimore Oriole, and 10 Hooded Mergansers.
Birders included Chris Wood, Stuart Krasnoff, and arriving as I left, a photographer whose name I forget.
