6 Willets
20 Semi-palm. Sandpipers
6 Least Terns
4 adult Piping Plovers. Regularly do their “broken wing” display/ distraction. Sweet birds ! Monitored by MA Audubon.

Pine and Blackburnian Warblers singing in the yard, a first.
Lots of Osprey.
Some left over Co. Eiders and some distant Scoters, maybe black.
