At ca. 7:30 this morning there were 3 Killdeer around the pool on the north side of the spit at Myers. One was vocalizing persistently from a brooding posture on a low mound of beach gravel near the pool. Later, In the bird's absence, I could see what looked like a nest excavation at the site. Around that time I saw a Spotted Sandpiper across the creek at Salt Pt. Later I saw what I presumed was a second one working the beach at the Private Marina.
At ca. 8:20 I saw a bright male Yellow-rumped warbler at the Swan Pen in Stewart Park. Also in the vicinity were 5 Hooded Mergansers, a Fish Crow, and a Red-bellied Woodpecker.
