My apologies for sending this out a day late but I had 1 Caspian Tern drop in at the North end at 3:42pm yesterday. It preened for a few minutes then flew West.
The few shorebirds that were around were hiding in the reeds due to a HY Peregrine Falcon and a Merlin cruising the pond. The only notables were a White-rumped Sandpiper and a Wilson's Snipe which flushed right in front of me as I was leaving through the south end. Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, Northern Shoveler were well represented along with the usual inhabitants.
