Visited Sagg Pond and Mecox today. At Sagg there was an AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER, associating several other Black-bellied Plovers. Als, present, many Killdeer, a Black Skimmer, 4 Greater Yellowlegs, many Sanderlings, FORSTER'S TERNS, a Royal Tern, a Green Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Great Blue Heron (4), Black-crowned Night-Heron, and some Laughing Gulls along with Herring, Great Black-backed and Ring-billed Gulls. There was a female Belted Kingfisher seen from Bridge Lane.
At Mecox the number of Skimmers remains high (I counted 114), but not as high as Hugh's earlier count of 145.
The 2 MARBLED GODWITS remain. I don't recall ever seeing Godwit's quite so close. Very nice.
2 Short-billed Dowitchers; 4 or 5 American Golden Plovers; numbers of Forster's Terns, along with some Common Terns, 2 ROYAL TERNS, 2 CASPIAN TERNS. Also present: Sanderlings, Semi-Palmated Sandpipers, Semi-Palmated Plovers, and the expected gulls.
