Southwest winds have resulted in a slow but steady passerine migration for =

Shorebirds continue to be scarce=2C probably because of the radically chang=
ed salinity of Big Pond. A flock of 200-300 did put in an appearance two da=

Seabirding is excellent at the moment with Red Phalarope numbers being repo=

Phalarope numbers are only about 1% of that. Shearwaters are almost 100% Gr=
eater but a few Sooty are being seen and yesterday there was a report of a =
single Manx. Another unusual event is the large number of Wilson's Storm-Pe=
trels being seen currently. Usually they are seen singly or in small groups=
of 2-3 but 'flocks' of 20-30 are being reported.

The only report out of the ordinary was that of a Bicknell's Thrush heard b=
