I spent a few hours this morning checking out Alum Reservoir.

The mudflats at Hogback Road were pretty good, though many birds were too
far to identify in the heat.  Highlights here include:
-Stilt Sandpipers - 4
-BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER - 1 (in the large dry grassy area near one of the
Osprey platforms)

I also checked out the beach, but couldn't find the reported Laughing Gull.
I did, however, see:
-2 RED KNOTS - feeding on the rocks at the far south end of the beach.  They
were both juveniles and very approachable.

Good birding,
John
