I searched high and low for the Laughing Gull at the beach at Buck Creek State Park from 1 to 2 pm today, without success. The Forster's Terns and Horned Grebe were also not seen. The Caspian Terns, Ring-billed and Bonaparte's Gulls, along with the reported swallows, were present. In addition, a Common Loon was off the south end of the beach, and at least four Purple Martins were seen sitting in trees with the other swallows. Several American Coots were scattered around the area.
