The Little Gull has not been seen so far this morning, but the inlet remains very lively. In addition to a juvenile Bonaparte's Gull, an older bird was seen early this morning, along with single Black and Roseate Terns and many hundreds of common gulls, terns, and shorebirds.
Most recently, John Gluth just picked out a Marbled Godwit on the flats between Robert Moses SP and Oak Beach.
