This morning EBCA was a feast for the ears - influx of indigo buntings, dickcissels, eastern kingbirds provided a continuous background of song. Numerous NoWaterthrush, chats, yellow warblers, bells and warbling videos, soras, marsh wrens. added to the "score". Virtually a YR warbler in every tree and shrub; so many palm warblers several were walking on the road!
Estimate 300-500 shorebirds were also present, primarily in pools 10-11. A good variety - both yellowlegs, both dowitchers; pectoral, least, white-rumped, bairds, semi-palmated, stilt, spotted sandpipers; dunlin, Wilson's phalaropes, semi-palmated plovers. Two peregrines were causing birds to flush and move often.
Incoming front could cause another change up tomorrow. Oh, just got a text that black terns have now appeared.
