Hawks, Trails and Beach - Saturday, September 17th 2011

The Hawks, Trails and Beach walk had a nice variety of birds for a very rainy afternoon.  We started with many, many birds out in the rips including two Parsitic Jaegers and two Brown Pelicans with a multitude of gulls 
and terns.  The walk through the park produced pockets of warblers including lots of Yellow Warblers, a Northern Parula, and a Black-and-white Warbler.  The back end 
of Lighthouse Pond had a perched Peregrine Falcon and four Green Herons perched in one tree.
