While diversity of warbler species and numbers of individuals in the Magee Marsh area are predictably down (I had 16 species yesterday; 14 today), there is still good diversity of flycatchers and shorebirds. I had 105 species in a day and a half of birding (yesterday and today), including 26 Black-bellied Plovers at the Crane Creek estuary and 5 White Pelicans at Metzger. Yellow-bellied Flycatchers were abundant along with Blackpoll Warbler and Canada Warbler. A Connecticut was seen yesterday in the morning and the evening at west end of the boardwalk. The estuary  of Crane Creek has provided wonderful birding the past two days with a good diversity. Today there were Dunlin, Black-bellied Plover, Semi-palm Plover, Semi-palm Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Greater Yellowlegs, Common Tern, etc.
