One More Time!

So today, July 7, Jim Solum and I took another canoe trip out to the Tube in Grass Lake. The Ring-billed Gulls weren't nearly as numerous or raucous as last week. It was a warm morning but pretty calm. A cold front is coming through later today, so I thought some new shorebirds may show up today. Unfortunately that wasn't the case but we still had great looks at GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LEAST SANDPIPERS, SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS, and 1 STILT SANDPIPER. On the way back in to the dock we had 7 or 8 BLACK TERNS flying around us as well, which was cool.
