Larry Jeanblanc, Julie Karlson and I visited the beach at Buck Creek State Park Sunday morning. We found a Sanderling, a Western Sandpiper, and then about 31 Franklin's Gulls flew in and landed with the Ring-billed Gulls. Later we walked some of the trails which took us near the white pines along Grant Road on the east side of the park and counted about 20 Red-breasted Nuthatches.
