I decided to give a the lake a shot in hopes of jaegers and all.  Although I
didn't see any, it was still a great day considering that its only the 4th
of September.  Best birds were 2 very early red-breasted mergansers and 2
black terns.  I do not see a lot of black terns here.  Lots of ring-billed
gulls.  The way the wind was blowing many were flying sideways and
backwards.  Picking anything different out of the gulls would have been
difficult early.
