A lunchtime walk to Laudholm Beach netted 21 bird species and 8 of butterflies. Biggest avian surprise was a drumming ruffed grouse. White-throats and yellow-rumps were numerous, but I picked up no other warblers. Scoped a couple of gannets well offshore. Closer in I saw eiders, but no other sea ducks or grebes. About 250 dc cormorants flew way out and another 100 migrated over the beach.
I counted more red admirals than monarchs. Mourning cloaks and question marks were in a lower tier of abundance.
