Spitting rain met us in the parking lot but the sun reappeared for a nice evening walk. Highlights include: a good mix of shorebirds including Pectoral, Spotted, Stilt, Least, and Semipalmated Sandpipers; Short-billed Dowitchers; Semi-palmated Plover; Sanderlings; Tree and Barn Swallows; and American Oystercatchers on the beach. Leaders: Chuck Slugg and Kathy Horn.
