Hi All,

Vic Nelson observed a juvenile BLACK TERN at Point no Point starting at
about 10:00AM this morning. George Gerdts and I took a quick trip up
there and watched it forage just north of the lighthouse from about
11:00 - 11:15 with a good size flock of Bonaparte's Gulls.

A few other birds of interest for George and me during our brief visit
included three CINNAMON TEAL in the marsh, one juvenile PARASITIC JAEGER
giving chase to the Bonaparte's Gulls, and five HORNED LARKS that made a
quick fly-in, fly-bye visit while we stood on the beach scoping the tern.

Mid-day low tides bodes well for bird activity during the morning hours
the next few days.

Cheers and good birding,
Brad Waggoner
