Another beautiful morning at Wilde Lake. I went with the purpose of locating the spotted sandpiper reported yesterday without success. But with so much other activity it was still well worth the trip. 

Highlights were, Bald Eagle Flyover headed west, Osprey flyover headed east
29 DC Cormorants and a Great Black-backed Gull, 3 Caspian Terns. The complete list is below.

Good Birding,
Michael O'Sullivan
