I was joined by a birder from NYC who had just come from seeing "Shrimpy" -what a famouse little bird!. Anyway niether of us saw anyting but tons of Bonaparte's Gulls. Oh Well, later that day I had Chipping Sparrow, Eastern Towhee, Cooper's Hawk, and Double- crested Cormorant in my yard. All of these were first timers for the year!
