At least one Little Gull was still around on the sandbar at Noblewood Park in
Willsboro NY today - along with Caspian and Common Terns, ring-billed gulls,
herring gulls and great black-backed gulls. There was also one semipalmated
plover and one bird that I'm pretty sure was a semipalmated sandpiper (but every
year I need time to relearn the peeps).

If anyone else is heading to Noblewood, I'd advise getting there early,
especially on a nice weekend day. There were a dozen large motor boats around the
sand and sandy peninsula by noon, along with a jet ski, with people and dogs
coming off the boats onto the beaches. All the activity chased the birds out
onto the water.
