Good morning all -- I visited this location at 6:55 this morning, and spent 30 minutes along the short spur road and then scanning with scope out to sea. The White-eyed Vireo reported to eBird yesterday by M. Good was shy but seen well for ~30 seconds. Location when spotted was in apple trees along the roadside, ascending from the parking pad back toward the CCC stone bridge overpass. Also enjoyed:
2 juv Y-b Sapsuckers1 Swamp and 1 Song sparrow110 N. Gannets estimated in only 5 minutes of scope scanning well out to sea from this limited viewpoint. Good day for Gannet spotting, I'm thinking!
