Some odds and ends:

A life (dead) fish! - an Atlantic Torpedo (Torpedo nobiliana) with a hungry Greater Black-blacked Gull

An American Golden Plover was hiding among the thousands of Black-bellied Plovers

Now isn't this an undignified posture for an American Oystercatcher?

More tern banding questions . . . looks like blue over red over green over metal on the right, and yellow over metal on the left

Still a few Piping Plovers around

Gray Seals are the big mammal draw of the area but this Hooded Seal was a life mammal
