The PIPING PLOVER, COMMON TERNS, and many other shorebirds reported by
Ron Hoff, Dollyann Myers, and Frank Bills yesterday were still at
Kingston Steam Plant again this morning (8-10 pm).
Janice and Carl Chadwell and I also observed a PEREGRINE FALCON. The
falcon at one point was harrassing an Osprey with a fish. I also found
somewhat remarkable a grouping of 8 Great Egrets fishing very close
together in shallow water. I don't think I've ever seen so many egrets
fishing in a cluster like this before. Also a couple of Grasshopper
Sparrows were present.

al.):
