Migrants still are around. There are 600-800 small shorebirds each tide with the majority of those being Semipalmated Sandpipers. Yesterday's afternoon low tide (at last mud in the northern part of Flat Bay) had 73 Lesser Yellowlegs and 3 Greater Yellowlegs. Around 160 Black-bellied Plover. One Sanderling.
Shorebirding on the Pleasant River just downriver from Addison also produced hundreds of Semipalmated Sandpipers, with a sprinkling of Semipalmated Plover. About 80 Black-bellied Plover were there as well.
Land birds are funneling through as well. Yesterday I had an alder bush full of Pine Warblers, Northern Parula, Black-throated Green, Yellowthroats and Magnolia. Today the tree tops hosted Bay-breasted, American Redstarts, Black-and-white and Black-throated Green.
