Great Egg Harbor Bay & Inlet - Thursday, August 12, 2010

"Albeit windy, the birds didn't mind and the Sunset Cruise on the Duke Of Fluke went off quite well. Black Skimmers were ubiquitous of course and a good number of Yellow-crowned Night Herons also showed themselves. The rookery was magical yet again and Bird Island held both Saltmarsh and Seaside Sparrows.
