Hi all:
=20
I did not get chance to head out yesterday due to fighting virtigo since Th=
ursday.  I was advised not to drive until it clears up.  Thankfully it was =
much better today.  Of note at Oxner's Beach was a flock of 21 least sandpi=
pers.  By the time Pat and I arrived in Kingsburg all of the martins were g=
one.  At Hirtle's Beach there were still 10 laughing gulls=2C one Forster's=
 Tern and a tern=2C which I'm sure was a Least Tern.  I had the scope on it=
 and noticed right away an all yellow bill.  The bird took off right away a=
nd flew over our heads outwards over Romkey's Pond and in the direction of =
Crescent Beach=2C Cherry Hill or somewhere else further along the shore.  I=
t was a bright yellow bill seen through the spotting scope and also as it f=
lew overhead.  Correct me if I'm wrong=2C but that is the only tern with an=
 all yellow bill.  There was one one Laughing gull only on Kingsburg Beach.=
  Lots of people moving the birds around that were present at Hirtle's Beac=
