This morning a Clay-colored Sparrow was along the bluff top and then on the beach at the down coast end of the main cove south of the “fig tree” parking area. The bird was in the vicinity of the small cypress tree along the bluff face. Other birds of interest this morning were a continuing very worn Brant, two Ruddy Turnstones, a Wandering Tattler, and the first Short-billed Gull this fall (adult).
