At North Beach this pm we spotted 3 FOY Gr Yellow-legs, just in time to
reach our goal of 100 county year birds by Mar 31. Akmost all ducks have
vacated this part of the Bay, exc as below. The complete list:
Horned Grebe ~ 20, many in breeding plumage
N Gannet 3
Mallards ~10
Gr Scaup 1
Bufflehead 100's still
Green-w Teal 20 (in marsh)
Black Scoter 1 m, very close in
Red-br Merganser pair
Osprey on nest
Gr Y-legs 3
Laughing Gull still 0
Herring Gull 2
F Tern? (v far out)
We noticed that the gate now blocking the popular pull-off across from
the marsh has a combination lock - perhaps access is to be widely
granted to N Beach residents.
