The black guillemot and iceland gull continue at Lake Montauk. I didn't find the black-headed or little gull at Ditch Plains, but there were 3 purple sandpipers in with the sanderlings. But the highlight for me was seeing a bat, presumably a little brown bat, working the insects over a small pond in my yard in East Hampton. This was the first time I have seen one here so active during the day, and by far the earliest bat activity I have seen out here.
