Forster’s Tern
Gull #7 (same date location).

Gull #7 Forster’s tern (I know – a mean trick as I called it “Gull #7”). Orangey legs, very pointed wing, black ear/eye patch, but back of head is not black (as in Common Tern at this time of year).

One of these things is not like the other…..Ok recent gulls class, what do you see here? From Hornsby earlier this week.
Found a few gulls at Fox park Granger lake (thanks to a tip from a friend). It’s good to find any gulls in Centex. Species? any of you gull students?
Shingled by G-U-11 !! Port Townsend WA.
I enjoyed the sunrise at Cedar point on Lake Buchanan yesterday and with the approaching Festivus season (“the festivus for the rest of us”) it was nice to find many of these beautiful Axarus festivus (as I’m told by iNat) a variety of midge.
Went hunting for shorebirds at Lake Buchanan this morning. Looks like lots of shorebird habitat all around the lake, but I only found 1 Killdeer, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, 1 Spotted Sandpiper, 2 flyover Upland Sandpipers and 7 Avocets. Here’s hoping more stop in next time.
