Loons and Shorebirds Cruise - Saturday, March 21st, 2015

Today was the first Loons & Shorebirds Cruise on The Osprey!  It was a beautiful day for a boat trip through the back bays. Our local Osprey were not seen, but we had great looks at everything else. A Bald Eagle provided a great photo opportunity as did Common Loons, Great Cormorants and American Oystercatchers.  Leaders; Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg and Warren Cairo.
