Well I had big plans for the day in regards to doing some shorebird surveys=
 and checking out my special birding areas.  I decided that I needed to cra=
sh for a little before going out and had originally planned to only be down=
 for about an hour.  Well it turns out that I woke up four hours later.  An=
yhow=2C not to be totally left out of doing some more birding=2C I went to =
Conrads Island at Lower Rose Bay for a shorebird survey.  The tide had just=
 started to come in.  I was at a disadvantage from the start as a peregrine=
 was patrolling and most of the shorebirds left.  It was still nice to see =
what remained though.  A small movement of warblers was at the start contai=
ning 22 yellow-rumped warblers a few black-capped chickadees=2C two norther=
n parula=2C two magnolia warblers=2C and a palm warbler.  Shorebirds mainly=
 consisted of black-bellied plovers=2C greater and lesser yellowlegs and le=
ast sandpipers.  A few other shorebird species were only in small numbers. =
 Green-winged teal were present signifying that they are moving in migratio=
n.  Twelve were there and an additional 6 were at Oxner's Beach. =20
=20
At Oxner's Beach five willets were present=2C three of which were of the we=
stern subspecies.  At the end of the marsh area before the beach was a smal=
l grouping of birds with 16 yellow-rumped warblers=2C two red-eyed vireos=
=2C a northern parula=2C a dark-eyed junco=2C 8 black-capped chickadees and=
 a number of song sparrows. =20
=20
There seemed to be more than a normal amount of belted kingfishers about to=
day.  I saw six or seven in my travels at various locations.
