I wasn’t sure where to go when I went to bed, but Bombay beckoned this morning, and off I went.
The weather was seriously foggy when I left the house but largely cleared by the time I arrived. Some fog and clouds returned later, which was disappointing.
The early morning low tide attracted many shorebirds, but the population quickly diminished as the water rose. Eagles were well represented. There were a lot of photographers for a weekday morning.
I also found some Terns and the Grosbeaks. A good day.
I found a single Gray Catbird.
Several Forster’s Terns were fishing in Raymond Pool.
Many Bald Eagles were fishing this morning.
This Great Egret Landed right in front of me.
Greater Yellowlegs are becoming more common.
You have to look closely to ID the Short Billed Dowitcher.
A Dunlin on the left, a least Sandpiper(?) on the right.
Several Forster’s Terns were fishing in Raymond Pool.
A single Laughing Gull flew over the area.
Many Snowy Egrets were present, but there will be many more as the season progresses.
This is a female Blue Grosbeak.
