Willet but no Glaucous-winged Gull, 5/2, Berrien

[michael overway]

Greetings,

My mom and I tried for the potential Glaucous-winged Gull this evening.  We first stopped at Tiscornia Park.  We saw many Caspian Terns, Ring-billed gulls, and a few Herring Gulls, but no potential Glaucous-winged Gull.  

We then moved to Silver Beach on the other side of the channel with similar results.  We checked several parks on the way back north and ran out of daylight at Oval Beach in Saugatuck.  While we didn't hit every park, we didn't see a single gull at any stop other than in St. Joseph. 

Good Birding,

(We did have a nice lifer Willet at Tiscornia Park.  It was first seen as it was flushed by a walker who got at least 5' from it.  It then landed 20' from us and stayed put at least until we left.  There were also a couple of Sanderlings working the beach in the area.)
