The 2 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE and the CACKLING GOOSE are
still hanging around together on the shorebird flats. A MERLIN
made several passes over the flats included an extended, though
unsuccessful chase of a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER. The LAPLAND
LONGSPUR count is now up to 8 and there are still at least
7 HORNED LARKS on the beach.
