Tues White-winged Tern, miscellaneous
6:29 am
Tuesday morning, the White-winged Tern continued first thing off J Street in its usual stretch of shoreline, present immediately upon arrival in the early morning gloom at 5:55 a.m. It stayed 20 or so minutes and flew at 6:15, perhaps shifting over to Pond 11?
Yesterday, the 4th, there was a Black-bellied Plover at the upper end of Lower Otay Lake, very rare Inland.
Seawatching at La Jolla has continued to be ho-hum. Plenty of the typical nearshore feeding-frenzy species, but nothing at all unusual. Hopefully that will change soon.
