>From Frank Mantlik 7/21 Stratford, Short Beach Park - in the early morning haze (6:45 am) there were an estimated 1400 COMMON TERNS and 200 LEAST TERNS, as well as many roosting gulls and egrets. I went back this evening (5:45pm) and there were similar tern numbers with most of them in flight and plunge-diving for fish. I found 2 adult ROSEATE TERNS in the mix. Stratford, Access Rd. Pool (opposite R.E. Michel) 5:30 pm; water levels are perfect for shorebirds- 31 Lesser Yellowlegs, 3 Killdeer, 2 Semipalmated Sandpiper, 3 Short-billed Dowitcher, 1 Glossy Ibis. Yesterday (7/20) there was a Solitary Sandpiper here.
