I took my 3 yr old daughter out to the marina spit about 4:15pm. She spotted every pelican and non-Sabines gull out there. I picked out a common tern but no Sabines. The wind was also howling. A bit after 5 we stopped by the swim beach and some happy birders from St Louis just had a Sabines fly by. I looked for a bit longer from a few spots up to the boat ramp by the dam and never saw the elusive Sabines. The point is a Sabines was around late today at chatfield and, on the bright side, I was able to bird with the kiddo, almost fuss free, for a while (sand and rocks and water help immensely!).
