Went to Brighton Beach (just south of Scarborough
Beach) today and actually saw some interesting birds.
A pair of crested terns were among the silver
gulls. I've seen them there before.
A little later a juvenille pacific gull flew past,
a nice surprise.
Then the biggest surprise of all, a flock of what
looked like black-winged or banded stilts. They didn't strike me as
black-winged stilts or avocets so I'm thinking they were banded
stilts. Is it common for these waders to be seen at the beach?
Anyone know what species they were most likely to have been?
