Hi, I visited a couple of days ago: 4 species of shorebirds, including 5
Black Turnstones, 2 Whimbrel, ~20 Lb Curlew and a few Snowy Pl.
But the most notable was an unusually high amount of oíl slick (north of
the outflow), much of it very fragmented and with a strong smell of
"fresh" oil.
I wonder if this might be related to the recent string of seabird deaths.
Best
