Hi Tweets,

Not much diversity or birds today at Oceanshores or Midway Beach but still an enjoyable day for me.

Walking out to Damon point, produced 4 AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVERS and 2 PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER.

Lonnie Sommers and I located 8 PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER at Midway Beach. I went back 10 minutes later to get better photos, and 4 AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER showed up and joined them.

The BAR-TAILED was a no-show today despite a strong presence of 1000 marbled godwit on the pier. Very impressive and the trip was worth just seeing them!

More later....

Good birding,
