Kalr Lukens et.al. report:
"CMBO Higbee Beach WMA Walk. Rainy and the birds were laying low. A little sea watching was good, lots of Gannets and what may be the "local" Bald Eagle was perched along the beach before going out to harass gannets and scoters. Some of us saw 2 Wild Turkeys across from the Hidden Valley carpark on the way to Higbee. - Karl (Chuck, Steve, Patty)"
