A Gray Catbird greeted us with a cheery song and a good look; a Northern Mockingbird flew over so we could compare two of our mimids. There was a large flock of Laughing Gulls which were joined by a group of Common Terns. A Common Yellowthroat was singing and sitting up where we could see it. Bunker Pond was filled with Mute Swans. Walking through the wooded area we heard both Blue Grosbeak and Indigo Bunting. We also saw a group of Yellow Warblers. There was a large flock of Black Skimmers loafing on the beach. Leaders: Chuck Slugg and Chris Marks.
