Hi Peter-
Supposedly clear skies for the morning ended up being quite rainy. Despite that, 8 of us spent time on Pier 1. Birds were a little sparse, but eventually we got looks at Swainson's Thrush in the Vale, fleeting looks at a Lincoln's Sparrow who has been around all week, and extended looks at a Black-throated Green Warbler and two Warbling Vireos on the Harbor Lawn. Right before we wrapped up, Liz V spotted a different-looking swallow flying over the pilings- a Northern Rough-winged swallow- which was only the 2nd sighting ever in the park. Hoping that migration continues on and we get better weather next Wednesday!
