I received another phone call from Daryl Tessen this evening, with a report
from the past two days.
Early on Tuesday (6:40 AM) they found a Western Grebe offshore from the
beach, and then a little while later a Red-necked Grebe. He said a little
after 7:00 they had a Long-tailed Jaeger come flying in, and then headed
toward the lighthouse. For most of the day they had at least four Parasitic
Jaegers putting on a show, hour after hour.
The same thing happened today, with a fairly continuous jaeger show. Other
birds of interest included an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, and an adult
Franklin's Gull, and he said there were two juvenile/1st year Thayer's Gulls
on the beach close by. There were a few Bonaparte's Gulls and Common Tern
present today also. Unfortunately, no Sabine's Gulls have been spotted
since Monday.
He said that the passerine show has been rather poor, with few sparrows and
warblers present -- even though they eventually ended up with 16 species of
the latter.
Daryl issued a warning for anyone coming, saying that the MOSQUITOES have
been pretty bad this year, even on the beach if the winds are down -- so
come prepared!
It sounds like there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow afternoon/evening,
with possible storms. There may be NW or N winds on Friday.
