Urged on by Rob Stone's call of a BLACK TERN being seen at the "Camel Farm", Lisa O'Gorman and I made a trip out to it this afternnon. Immediately upon arrival the tern was obvious as it made passes back and form over the small pond. A grand "lifer" for Lisa.
We next went the short distance to the Pine Island Turf Nursery where quickly after the office building we found 86 Golden Plover, 2 Pectoral Sandpipers, 8 Least Sandpipers, uncounted Killdeer, a Green Heron and a wily Red Fox.
At Oil City Road we had 2 Common Egrets, many Killdeer and 3-5 Greater Yelowlegs.
At Skinner Lane we found an even dozen(12) Golden Plovers, 1 Gtr. Yellowlegs, 1 Pectoral Sandpiper, more Killdeer, a handful(6-8) of Bobolink, hundreds of Cowbirds on the wires and a single Grt. Blue Heron.
All in all a fun time for a few hours.
