I met Bill Schreitz both yesterday and this morning out at SPSP.  Bill
was doing his May Count and I was happy to help before I had to go
sing at a wedding.

The highlights:

1	RUDDY TURNSTONE (Sat)
4	Sanderling	(One bird on Sat, 4 today)
1	LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL	(Sat)
45+	Caspian Tern	(both days, numbers increased Sunday)
1	Common Tern	(Sat)
1	Warbling Vireo	(Singing at the entrance on Sat, nearly attacking me
at the phrag pond at the Northern tip of the park on Sun)
1	BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER	(East Beach on Sun)
1	Semipalmated Plover	(Sun)
6	Semipalmated Sandpiper	(both days)
7	Least Sandpiper	(both days)
2	SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER	 (both days for Bill, Sunday for me)
1	Wilson's Snipe	(Sun)
5	Laughing Gull	
1	Eastern Wood-Pewee	(Sun)
1	VESPER SPARROW	(Sun at the North parking lot w/ two Savannahs)
2	NELSON'S SPARROW (Sun at the rock wall / phrag pond)
1	Summer Tanager (Seen, not singing)
1	Scarlet Tanager	(Seen, singing)
25	Indigo Bunting	(An absolute underestimate... as these birds were
all over the skies apparently migrating throughout the morning)
4      Bobolinks (both days)

Other notables, a Cliff Swallow at the turf farms on Whitehall Road
(Sat) and a singing Wilson's Warbler in the yard a few minutes ago.

Good Birding,
