Yellow-headed Blackbird (click to see the larger version)

A Yellow-headed Blackbird, probably an immature male, was on the beach inside the protected area at Montrose this morning.

Other birds seen at Montrose this a.m. include 2 flyby juvenile Forster’s Terns, 3 Semipalmated Plovers, and a flyover Common Nighthawk.

If you go to Montrose at this time of the year I wouldn’t recommend wearing short pants as the flies can be particularly vicious.
