Went down to St Mary's today and was rewarded with two firsts for me . First an American Advocet at the tower by Montezuma. Then on 127 where the gravel is along side the road out in the bay area there was a Juvenile Little Blue Heron. Made may day .. Some shorebirds there , I didn't have a scope to ID them . Geese ,Mallards and sea gulls. AT home here in my backyard seen 3 blackthroated blue warblers, 6 female and 1 male american redstarts, 1st winter yellow rump, red eyed vireo ,pileated woodpecker , and a few warblers that didn't hold still and come out in the open for me to ID.
