Yesterday eve when I got home I had 20-25 minutes to look around for birds, 
and out on a mudflat at the river I saw my first Lesser Yellowlegs (4) of the 
year, with 3 Greaters, and first Forster's Tern (one, in breeding plumage).  The 
tern made many passes and dives for about 15 minutes, and then moved on.  
I also enjoyed hearing a winter wren singing prodigously before dusk.

This morning there is a large flock (~150-160) of tree swallows coursing over 
the upper end of Jug Bay.
