There was a Piping Plover this morning at the far end of Grandview Beach.
It was associating with Semipalmated Plovers and Sandpipers. Also, two
young Gull-billed Terns were with an adult on the Back River side of the
point, while a single Common Tern and Sandwich Tern were mixed in with a
larger
group of Royal Terns on the bay side.
