A mild, foggy morning for our last walk of the year. Visibility was limited from the beach but we did have Surf and Black Scoters and a variety of gulls. Ducks were abundant including Mallard, Black, Red-headed, Bufflehead, Ruddy, Hooded Merganser, Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, and Green-winged Teal. Some walkers had a brief glimpse of an American Bittern and we all had a good look at a Wilson's Snipe. Raptors included Northern Harrier, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Janet Crawford, Steve Weis, Catherine Busch, and Mary Watkins.
