Weekend Update-ish

This was the Presque Isle weekend of “events for people in really good shape,” which sadly excludes the entire BirdingPI.com staff: Erie Marathon on Sunday, & Barber ‘Beast on the Bay’ on Saturday. Due to the commotion + other logistical issues, unfortunately no Gull Point content again this week. However, ‘the game’s afoot’ (migration-wise), with some nice shorebird sightings Saturday afternoon (after the rain but cloudy) at Leo’s Landing:

Caspian Tern looking for fish

It’s Gray Catbird! x more Caspian Tern (carrying a stick apparently):


Greater Yellowlegs
Semipalmated Plover
Shady Yellowlegs II
Black-bellied Plover (juvenile)
Semipalmated Plover II
Black-bellied Plover + gulls
G. Yellowlegs III
Great Egret
Yellowlegs IV
American Pixie Gulls (aka Bonaparte’s Gulls)
Take the next Tern

Trail conditions: locally muddy at usual locations, e.g., Duck Pond Trail & west end Long Pond Trail.


Coming up soon, more Great Egret!

    The Team Leader expressed himself in a professional manner and showed his humorous side: take the next Tern, indeed.
    Or, as this Team member would say, “As the World Terns.”
