At 11:30 the single BRANT had joined the Canada Goose flock and decided to be tame and walk around the parking lots- I got within 20 feet or so. An adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL appeared with the many Herring gulls that were dropping out of the sky onto the lake- presumably arriving from the Cornell compost piles.
No shorebirds visible. Still many YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS around the swan pen.

Not much else to see down here so far. An adult BRANT was flying around and a Red-breasted Merganser was in the creek.
