Hammo this morning from 8-10:30am:

Among the countless gulls in the parking lots, 6 GBBG.  Also had 2 pectoral peeps feeding in a drying up puddle off the parking lot.

The place was absolutely infested with Yellow rumps.  Also huge numbers of white-throated, white-crowned, and song sparrows.  Also had a flock of about 15 juncos feeding with the sparrows.

At Meigs point a mixed flock of Lesser and Greater yellowlegs.  Also had a fly-by Cooper's Hawk cruising just above the marsh grass.

Did not see the tricoloreds or Stilts.

Also had a hilarious capture of what appears to be a rather tired ring billed gull.
