Hi everyone --- Too bad I couldn't get this out earlier today, but
what I had near Menominee Park beach today was uncanny ---- 6 larid sps. and
! of them was another record. Close to 80 or so COMMON TERNS. I had a tough
time trying to find a Forster, but then I found a silver lining amongst all the
gray. Literally. I figured Daryl Tessen should've been here to try and find an
Arctic. Well I would know what to look for but, to pin one out quickly
would've been a challenge. After 10 minutes of searching the crowd I found 2
Forster's. The other tern seen was Caspian. The other 3 larids were Ringbill,
Herring and Bonaparte's. Gulls. I was in real good position to examine them
closely but nothing odd resembling that species. It was unreal. Those 2 terns
rose my number to 102 sps. for the month, 100 was wild. Yesterday as I was
scoping around the Sawyer Creek area of town I was saying to myself, '' OK,
where's 100?"
and just seconds after saying so a BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON flew from the
trees in front of me.
Have to get to bed,
Paul Bruce, Oshkosh
