I ran the outing yesterday on May 26.  It was an extremely windy day of abo=
ut 40 km winds.  I had two people show up on this outing and we managed to =
tally roughly 39 species despite the wind.  There were a number of least fl=
ycatchers and we both heard and saw our first Alder Flycatcher.  At Crescen=
t Beach for shorebirds=2C there were eight black-bellied plovers=2C a singl=
e greater yellowlegs and a ruddy turnstone.   For warblers=2C a northern wa=
terthrush was nice.  Overall=2C warbler numbers for species at nine was far=
 lower than normal.  Also species were down by about 20.  I believe that th=
is is the lowest number of bird species recorded on this outing.   Hopefull=
y=2C it was the wind that was the divining factor for this. =20
