A RUFF (probably the Reeve) was still on the sand flat across
from the Wildlife Bunker, parking lot D, Ft Stevens StPk along
with a single BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, SANDERLINGS, WESTERN
and LEAST SANDPIPERS this morning (9/11). There was also a
newly arrived flock of AMERICAN WIGEON. No sign of the
STILT SANDPIPER or SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER at the Battery
Russell Pond, apparently last seen on Sunday.

Steve Warner reports SURFBIRDS at the Seaside Cove with
BLACK TURNSTONES. The first group of AMERICAN COOTS arrived
at Youngs Bay on Friday.

There were reports of FOX SPARROWS from several obsevers last
week. Migrant warblers are pulsing through windows in the
unsettled weather. A large mixed warbler flock of nearly
100 individuals was on Coxcomb Hill Sunday.
