I made a quick trip out to Snow Bunting peninsula this morning to see of the 
rain brought in any birds and I was not disappointed. From 7:00 to 7:30 I found 
the following: 

Common Loon – 2 
Ring-billed Gull – 12 
Herring Gull – 1 
Forster’s Tern – 4 
Caspian Tern – 1 (flyover) 
Spotted Sandpiper – 3 
Greater Yellowlegs – 4 
Lesser Yellowlegs – 1 (nice comparison with the Greaters) 
Pectoral Sandpiper – 1 
Dunlin – 1 (almost in full breeding plumage) 
Killdeer – 1 
Osprey – 1
