We did Dead Creek and Gage Road this morning, hoping to bag a Vermont 
Caspian Tern.  No luck on the tern, and not much in the way of shorebirds 
other than a flying flock of about 30 peeps - we wouldn't want to venture 
which they were.
    We did see at least six Kestrels and a big Red Tail on Gage Road, and an 
Osprey perched on the osprey platform near the eagle hack boxes.  We've seen 
eagles, peregrines and red tails on this platform before, but I think that 
this is the first time we've seen an actual Osprey on it.
    Other good birds included two Green Herons, a Great Egret, and a whole 
lot of GBH's.
