We counted 35 SNOWY PLOVERS: 34 adults and 1 chick. Other interesting birds: Two BLACK SKIMMERS were being nagged by AMERICAN AVOCETS on a little island in the northwest corner of R1, with a LONG-BILLED CURLEW nearby. 3 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS floated on the bay while BARN SWALLOWS and CLIFF SWALLOWS flew overhead. We didn't see any Semi-Palmated Plovers today, and only a single KILLDEER was present. On an island in R1 near the entrance closest to the Dumbarton we saw a pile of eggs and also some loose eggs. I'm not sure if the eggs belonged to the American Avocets or the Black-necked Stilts. We didn't see any birds sitting on eggs.
