Dateline: 16 July 2022
Beautiful day Saturday at Presque Isle State Park. Light wind, warm (highs in the upper 70s deg F), humid. Lots of boaters and beach-goers. Gull Point empty mid-day except birds and BirdingPI.com staff; maybe an errant hiker.
Birds: swallow, kingbird, blackbird, Yellow Warbler, gulls, Canada Geese, Killdeer, GBH, Common Yellowthroat (in the treeline), a single Dunlin, sparrows, Spotted Sandpiper, etc. The star here, happy (as always) to see a Dowitcher, probably Short-billed Dowitcher.
First up, some long-distance video. Not totally awful. Guest starring a Killdeer.
Next, some stills. All at long distance (mediocre lighting), but fun to see.
