Temp in the 50s, partly sunny, a few showers late afternoon, moderate S wind.

Still no other Asian passerines to report.

We finally found some Ancient Murrelets to add to the trip list. And we finally got our first Emperor Goose for the trip.

We saw a Pacific Loon at the Seawall — probably the same one we had a few days ago.

The trip list is now at 60, just two shy of our record 62 in Sept 2007. However, there were other birders here at that time and that helped.

We haven’t seen that partial albino Pacific Wren since the 12th, so here is a so-so picture in which you can just see the tip of its white tail feather.

Here’s another Song Sparrow photo.

Two days to go.
