Shorebirds along the Coast
Stopped to check the coast on my way past and scanned for sandpipers and plovers. The tide was wrong and everything was far off. ^^;
Great Knots arrived in a small flock.
About a dozen Pacific Golden Plovers.
A few Sanderlings have been staying.
The most numerous is the Ruddy Turnstone.
There was a Black-tailed Gull with an injured wing. Migration looks tough for that one.
While watching the waders and plovers, a flock of around 100 Sykes's Wagtails arrived from overhead. A few (Yellow-browed) Citrine Wagtails and Red-throated Pipits were mixed in as well.
