E-Z Birding, Tuesday, August 30th 2011

E-Z Birding enjoyed a leisurely stroll along the ponds and through the State Park and sighted a variety of birds.  Highlights include a mix of terns such as Common, Forster's, Royal, and Black.  Shorebirds were tough due to
the lack of "edges" along the ponds.  We had a group of Yellow Warblers, Redstarts, and Baltimore Orioles to round out the usual species.
