Although obviously not in the great numbers as previously reported along the ocean beaches further west, a drive along Dune Rd from 4PM-5PM found at least three Lesser Black-backed Gulls among a small flock in the Tiana ocean beach parking lot. Also there, the usual suspects of Great Black-backed, Ring-billed, and Herring Gulls.
In addition, a Clapper Rail, and a Little Blue Heron, both hunkered along the marsh grasses, were seen.
