At 11:30 am this morning, a female Red-breasted Merganser was just 40-50 feet south of the peninsula at Kilowatt. Great close range views. Also present were a pair of Green-winged Teal, a male Bufflehead, and 5 subadult Ring-billed Gulls. At Pompy Flats, basically the same cast of characters that have been there the past 2 days: 6 Semipalmated Plovers, 3 Lesser and 3 Greater Yellowlegs, 2 Solitary Sandpipers, 4 Spotted Sandpipers, 9 Least Sandpipers.
