A number of us spent an hour, or better, waiting for a view of the
Purple Gallinule. It eventually showed near the road side of the
marsh. It then flew a short distance to the north and landed back in
the grass. This was about 10:45 this morning. An excellent find
Sean! (When I left other birders were still waiting for a look at
it. Hopefully they will post their results later.)
I stopped off at the Coast Guard Impoundment on the way home. It was
very foggy near the lake, so spotting things was a challenge. The
two Laughing Gulls are still there, with one landing and eating a
fish it had caught. Several Caspian Terns were also present plus a
few Dunlins, Semipalmated Sandpipers and one White-rumped Sandpiper.
Eventually the fog got so bad that one could hardly see out.
