Highlights from this morning at Hamlin Beach were an adult LITTLE GULL and 1-2 RED-NECKED GREBE. The Little Gull, still hooded, was moving west with a small line of Bonaparte's Gulls. There have been good numbers of Bonaparte's Gulls, 70+ yesterday and today, including a handful of fresh juveniles. I had two sightings of Red-necked Grebe today, one flying west and then one flying east about 30 minutes later - possibly the same bird. Passing ducks included four Gadwalls and five Green-winged Teals today and a Black Duck yesterday. Yesterday there was a SANDERLING on the beach east of the pavilion at parking area #4 along with a Semipalmated Sandpiper and three Spotted Sandpipers.
