I've just returned from Cherry Hill Beach, and birds seen there were:

8+ Laughing Gulls
2 Forster's Terns
1 Arctic Tern
1 Gull-billed Tern
1 Least Tern=20
2 imm. Black Skimmers

Shorebirds were down significantly from five days ago when 13 species =
were counted. Of note today were:

2 Marbled Godwits
3 Buff-breasted Sandpipers
1 Red-necked Phalarope

Take the path to the right of the parking lot and follow the edge of the =
pond, keep going past the shingle until the pond opens out. One Godwit =
and the Skimmers were in this area, and the Phalarope and Forster's were =
on the pond. The Buff-breasts were all at the far end on the beach side. =
The Gull-billed Tern was hawking over the marsh behind the flats.

There were other birds such as Bobolinks and many swallows, Tree and =
Bank, but it was very windy and I couldn't sort out the rest. Good luck!
