Sunday's walk at Higbee's Beach WMA produced singing Prairie Warblers and soaring Northern Gannets from the dune overlook, along with Surf and Black Scoters, lots of migrating Double-crested Cormorants, a brief look at Whimbrels overhead and a teasing Prothonotary Warbler back in the wetwoods, heard but never seen.
