I saw no Bonaparte's Gulls and no Black Terns :(, but there were lots of peeps foraging on the ponds. No surprises at the waterbird pond either, but on the way back I heard a singing YELLOW WARBLER from the former heronry and just south of here (the last strong left bend before you drop down to go to the waterbird pond as you head north) an adult male BLUE GROSBEAK flew across the road. I was able to watch this bird as it called and foraged in a bush and on the ground on the creek side of the dike. The bird had some fresh white fringing on the blue underparts, particularly on the undertail coverts. A quick check along the EEC entrance road failed to turn up a Ruff, but a late COMMON SNIPE and 3 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS were nice. A single BLACK SKIMMER was snoozing on the first island in pond A16, along with only 14 BONAPARTE'S GULLS - 183 more BONAPARTE'S GULLS were far out on pond A18 to the east. A single male TRICOLORED BLACKBIRD was with the blackbird flock at the Arzino Ranch. Mike Rogers _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
