Although a bit chilly and windy, we found a few sunny, protected pockets for feeding songbirds and swallows and Chimney Swifts were often seen overhead. Highlights of the walk included migrant flocks of Double-crested Cormorant, Glossy Ibis, and three Broad-winged Hawk in a kettle with vultures. The Glossy Ibis circled near us several times before settling down in the marsh for scope views. Leaders: Catherine Busch, Chris Marks, and Marc & Lynne Breslow.
