The Vermillion Flycatcher found yet again by Kevin yesterday continued this morning, viewed in the defunct Griffith housing project from outside of the fence above Carroll. The blasting red male was living up to both segments of its name before sunrise, and Security took no offense at my position. Over on the mudflats, the Common Ringed Plover was briefly visible on the north shore, discernible from directly adjacent Semipalmateds by its observably larger size and orange legs that may have matched the flycatcher for color intensity. At Lasalle and Earl, the gates were open and workers were running some loud machinery in the Rufous-crowned area. I viewed the site from the public sidewalk at the intersection but did not see the sparrow. And finally for now, the Palm Warbler is still frequenting the red flowering tree at Potomac and Waller, near Duboce Park. Brian Fitch
