Area birdwatchers went into the Memorial Day weekend with high hopes, as it is historically a great weekend for birding. But the weather did not cooperate, with strong northwest winds, soaking rains, fog, and chilly temperatures. Nonetheless, some fine sightings were made, including:

  • 2 Mississippi Kites
  • Worm-eating Warbler
  • Chuck-will's-widow

Also of note is the seasonal return of Sooty Shearwaters.
