Meanwhile, at Gull Point…


Back in Erie County, Pennsylvania, the big news over the weekend was the first-ever reported sighting of Black-necked Stilt at Gull Point on Saturday. Sunday access was complicated by the Erie marathon, but the park re-opened after noon, making for good late-day lighting:

Handily, a rare pair of American Avocet were also on site:
