Observation details
At 8 a.m., while focusing on photographing a Sanderling, I finally looked up to a rather vocal low flyer (thinking it was just one of the juvenile Caspians that were in the area) as the call was something I hadn't heard before. They flew right over my shoulder and I turned to take some quick pictures before they continued to fly south towards Dyke Marsh. Greg Gough would later share his checklist from Hains Point (upriver just a couple of miles away) where he had found a pair, earlier, resting on a buoy. He noted that they started to fly downriver at 7:50. These should be the same pair that he had seen.
