[obol] Seaside north and south

[David Bailey]

Yesterday, 28 Sept. 2006 I birded the Necanicum Estuary briefly in the 
late morning, then I went north on the beach to Sunset Beach access and 
returned south again. Today I birded at Circle Creek and stopped only 
briefly at the estuary. Complete notes are logged at http://birdnotes.net .

Highlights:

estuary:
Greater White-fronted Goose:   1 juvenile on the flats all alone--weird 
(still there today, 29 Sept)
Greater Yellowlegs:    2
BAIRD'S SANDPIPER: 1 today
MERLIN:     1
American Pipit:   5


Beach:
Black-bellied Plover:   1
MARBLED GODWIT:   1
Whimbrel:   2
Sanderling:   30

Circle Creek 29 Sept.

I found a flock of about 5 BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS and 10 TOWNSEN'S 
WARBLERS, as well as RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, A. ROBINS, and VARIED 
THRUSHES. Also about 30 AMERICAN PIPITS and a LINCOLN'S SPARROW.
