Another great day on Star Island, highlighted by stunning views of a short-eared owl hiding (or so it thought) amongst vegetation about 20 yards away, white-eyed vireo, yellow-breasted chat (both found by Greg, in addition to the aforementioned empid), three razorbills, 2 cory’s  shearwater, fox sparrow, good kinglet migration (both species), six species of warbler (usual two plus pine, nashville, black-throated blue, blackpoll). Low sparrow numbers. Going again next weekend, day to be decided.
