My first birding stop this morning was the Quintana jetty and there were lots of the usual suspects messing around on the rocks (Sanderlings, Ruddy Turnstones, Least Sandpipers) and I thought I was only going to get a nice walk out of my visit when I spotted this Nelson’s Sparrow working its way back toward the shore. A nice but unexpected surprise.
