Flocks consisted mostly of sanderlings, dunlins, black-bellied plovers and a few western sandpipers, but 9 marbled godwits were seen. Careful scanning may reveal an unusual or foreign species. Peregrines are numerous and merlins have been seen recently. Most interesting observation was of 25-27 Snow Buntings at Leadbetter Point . Western screech-owls and great horned owls have been calling in the Seaview bluffs.
Gulls are numerous, always with the chance of seeing an unusual species.
