I went to Martinique Beach this morning because it's not looking too good
for tomorrow. At the eastern end of the beach I found the Ipswich sparrow
that Hans reported earlier in the seaweed next to the upright poll, along
with a great blue heron which only flew over, and an adult bald eagle
getting scolded by crows.

 

Unfortunately I didn't see any shorebirds, however I found lots of tracks of
a shorebird next to the dunes which might mean the Piping Plovers are
around. On the way back, about mid-way down the beach, I heard a Savannah
sparrow (presumably Ipswich) call.

 

There are still some bufflehead around on the northern side of the beach, a
few goldeneye are flying around, plus some oldsquaw, eider and red-breasted
merganser.

 

Hopefully Sunday won't be as bad!
