Winter Wrens @ LEMP - 18 Nov 2024
I drove down to JP's Waterfront restaurant this morning to look for the continuing pair of Little Gulls. They were last seen flying south yesterday afternoon so they might have left the area. I did not seen them at 8:30 this morning so I spent some time photographing the many Bonaparte's Gulls foraging among the docks just west of the restaurant and in front of the Humbug Marina. A dense fog had blanketed the downriver area with visibility just a quarter mile as I drove to Gibraltar but was already lifting by the time I reached the marina and restaurant. A pair of Forster's Terns were a nice find. They were too far to photograph, though. The Little Gulls would be reported at 10:20 am just after I left...
