July 5th Prospect report

From Steve Addinall:

Hi peter,

Not much to report from Monday although we did
see another tern. Approx. 12:40 either a Common or
Forsters Tern appeared very briefly and flew over the
 west edge of the lake and continued in a NE direction
out of sight. Although i didn't see it long or close enough
to make a positive ID I thought it was interesting to note
which way it headed.

On the same walk I also had singing black and white warbler
and 2 chipping sparrows. In the evening I watched the lake
from the rustic shelter until dark hoping to see a Nighthawk
but no joy. Just 2 night herons, 1 great egret, 1 green heron,
 4 crow sp. (American?) and lots of chimney swifts in the gloom.
