------=_NextPar This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_000C_01C9B468.A5EAD980 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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!
