There was a good movement of land birds including 1000+ Yellow-rumped Warbler, 200+ White-throated Sparrow, 50+ White-crowned Sparrow, and 150+ American Pipit. Other land birds of noted included 2 Gray-cheeked Thrush, 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker, 2 Lapland Longspur, and 1 Common Nighthawk. On Gull Island we observed 59 species including 1 Buff-breasted Sandpiper, 1 Whimbrel, 1 American Golden Plover, 1 White-rumped Sandpiper, and 5 Baird's Sandpiper.
Good birding, Bruce
