Half-hours would go by without seeing a single bird of any kind - most of the birds were found in one area not far off Pt. Pinos. This lack of birds was not just because of the poor visibility - it was just as bad when we could see the horizon. The boat skipper said it had been this way for a week or so. I never imagined birds could be so scarce here + Pt. Pinos (1 hour 1600-1700) - Wilson's Phalarope 1, migrant landbirds 0 June 7 Point Reyes, Marin Co., Calif.
