15-20 Red Crossbills were continuing this morning in the northwest section
of Forest Beach Migratory Preserve.
Just north of Harrington Beach State Park, looking north from CTH D,  among
the Ring-billed Gulls on the beach was a solitary Whimbrel.  Don't expect to
see it though; unfortunately,  it was gone when I left at 2:30 P.M.

There are algae mats south of the point at Harrington Beach which will
probably attract some shorebirds from time to time, as long as they remain.
Today I saw only Least, Semipalmated, Baird's, and Spotted Sandpipers there.
