I saw both the Gull-billed Tern and Piping Plover (on nest) that had been previously reported at Nickerson today. Also present were Laughing Gull, Greater Black-backed Gull, Osprey, American Oystercatcher (with chicks), Common Terns (in colony) and almost certain Glossy Ibis, though it didn't stick around long enough for a positive ID. Some Boat-tailed Grackles were there too.
