I visited parts of Piney Run Park this morning and this afternoon with several highlights:
Canada Goose 100
Mallard 35
Common Loon 2 ims, I suspected two were summering here but this was the first time I saw both at one time.
Great Blue Heron 2
Great Egret 2
Green Heron 3
Glossy Ibis 2 ims, continue to be seen from White Rock Road
Greater Yellowlegs 3
Ring-billed Gull 4
Forster's Tern 3, one adult in breeding plumage, one molting adult, one 1st-summer variously sitting on the lake together, flying around, or perched on a boat; rare here.
Purple Martin 4, at least, not often seen as a migrant here, and rather late.
Cliff Swallow 2
