Hi All, Sorry for the late post, but I made a brief lap around Saylorville Tuesday afternoon. Of note was a juvenile SABINE'S GULL well north of the Dam (likely opposite Cherry Glen/Oak Grove) and 3 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS at Jester Park. I watched a "kettle" of Franklin's Gulls over the dam for several minutes, easily exceeding 2,000 birds, providing some zero-cost entertainment. Northern Pintails and Northern Shovelers were at Jester, although there were virtually no shorebirds here outside of 150+ Killdeer: 3 Buffies, a Baird's, 2 peeps, and a flyover Greater Yellowlegs.
