Hi all,

   I made a trip up to SPSP to view the reported Atlantic Brants, Black bellied Plovers, and gulls.  Didn't see any Dunlin, but was concentrating on studying the Brant. I was there a short time when Jim Green arrived with scope in hand, and looking for county birds.
The wind was offshore, and the bay was choppy.

Here's my stationary count list:

8 Atlantic Brant
Canada Geese (approx 30 with some flyovers)
4 Black bellied Plovers (they appeared from out of nowhere)
Ring billed Gulls
Laughing Gulls
Great black backed Gulls
1 Great Blue Heron
2 Fish Crow
5 Common Crow
