Highlights: Little Gull (photo above), Pacific Loon,
Parasitic Jaeger (photo below)
Tim had a Little Gull and a Pacific Loon during the waterbird count today. The Little Gull foraged around the tip for a while before disappearing. The Parasitic Jaeger made several showings, and landed on the water not far offshore several times. The season's first Northern Shrike and Snow Buntings arrived this afternoon. The woods were fairly productive with decent numbers of the usual suspects being seen.
