June 13, I did a seawatch from Pigeon Point. A partial list of what was noted. ( 4,500 ) Sooty Shearwaters. Nothing compared to ( 40,000 ) noted the day before from observers at Pt. Pinos,Monterey County. The first arrival of Pink-footed Shearwaters at Pigeon Point with ( 8 ) noted. Late migrants were ( 4 ) alternate-plumaged Pacific Loons. ( 30 ) Rhinoceros Auklets passedby with Common Murres. Later, I did a check of riparian corridors. The highlight was a singing male HOODED WARBLER seen in a willow thicket on private property off of Stage Rd. inPescadero. No public access! Notes from Leonie and I. The first arriving shorebirds. ( 23 ) Alternate-plumaged Willets on the Nob Hill Pond on the 14th. Arriving Willets can be as earlyas the 9th. Also that day on the pond was an early alternate-plumaged Greater Yellowlegs and ( 2 ) there yesterday. Passerine migration has pretty much come to just a trickle along thebayside with only Western Tanager and Swainson's Thrush noted. A couple of Orange-crowned Warblers in Redwood Shores were most likely early post-breeding dispersals.
