Total species for the morning numbered 46, with Yellow-rumped as the only warbler, and Song and White-throated the only sparrows. Both Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets were present. The mud flats held only Killdeer and one Yellow-legs that quickly moved behind a tuft of grass before it could be identified to species.
