I made another trip to Hirtle's Beach after work and again did not see the =
snowy plover.  The only two shorebirds present was a sanderling and a black=
-bellied plover.  I had great looks and comparisons of a black skimmer and =
the royal tern side by side.  I was able to view the royal tern on a number=
 of occasions while I was there.  There were two forster's terns and a tern=
 to either side of them slightly larger with longer bills=2C which I believ=
e were two sandwich terns.  Laughing gulls were present.  It was very foggy=
 and I saw many terns flying by one of which was charcoal underneath.  This=
 tern unfortunately was a distance away and headed back out towards the sea=
 and into the fog=2C so I could not get a positive id on it. =20

=20

There were also forster's terns foraging alongside of the road by my dads p=
lace in East LaHave this evening.
