These were at the quarry:
At the coast:
 |
| Almost the first bird we saw was this green heron |
 |
| We disturbed it a couple of times as we moved around the quarry, but only ever saw it flying away from us |
 |
| Sleepy mallards |
 |
| Great black-backed gulls bathing in the center of the quarry pool were a constant presence |
 |
| They were joined by ring-billed gulls (and herring gulls) from time to time |

Elsewhere:
 |
| Wild turkeys |
 |
| We saw many flycatchers - most probably eastern phoebes. |
 |
| Some looking less tidy than others |
 |
| This one is a least flycatcher |
 |
| We heard at least one eastern wood pewee nearby, so I can't rule out that some of these were also pewees as they were all silent as far as I noticed |
 |
| At one point I believe we had at least ten separate flycatchers in this area by the visitor center |
 |
| We also saw quite a few cedar waxwings around the visitor center |
 |
| ...as well as in other places |
 |
| ...sometimes in the same pose apparently |
 |
| Northern mockingbirds |
 |
| Blue jay |
 |
| Downy woodpecker |
 |
| Yellow-rumped warbler |
 |
| He was very fast-moving and I was pleased to discover that I got a few good shots |

| House sparrow |
 |
| Brown thrasher |
 |
