Hello birders,
This evening I kayaked out to the main flat inside of Lynnhaven Inlet. I
set up on the flat and waited for the tide to come to me. A nice variety
of terns use the flat when it's uncovered and this week there was an
increase in recently fledged terns. Many juvenile Royal, Sandwich and
Common Terns. One fledgling Gull-billed, too.
There was not an abundance of shorebirds but, one by one, a nice variety
landed briefly on the flat. Happy to see one bright Red Knot and both
Stilt and Pectoral Sandpipers among others.
Full list and some pics below:

Goods birds,
Ellison
