Temp in the 40s, overcast, wind light ENE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not see a Brambling today. They may have finally moved on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are still at least two Pine Siskins coming to my feeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other guys told me they had a Wandering Tattler last evening up at Clam Lagoon, so I headed straight up there this morning in hopes it was still hanging around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when I got to the lagoon and did a quick scan before heading up to where the had the tattler, I found a flock of 34 Bar-tailed Godwits (plus the 2 Black-tails)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I headed back to town to alert them (it was a lifer for some of them) and they soon joined me up there and reveled in the new birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then proceeded around the lagoon, but could not find the tattler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got to the Seawall, scanned a while, then moved farther along to scan some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we got out of the car, a tattler called and flew back up the Seawall a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turned out to be a Gray-tailed! This is the first one I have seen in May. Up til now, all spring birds were Wanderings and all fall birds were Gray-tailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better birders than I confirmed that today’s bird is a Gray-tailed, while yesterday’s was a Wandering!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Clam Lagoon, the group went out to the Loran Station and I headed elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the errant Tundra Swan on Palisades Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And down on Navfac Beach, I found a lone Bar-tailed Godwit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
