Hawks, Trails and Beach Group 1 - Saturday, October 1st 2011

The Hawks, Trails and Beach walk had a large number of participants so we split into two groups.  The group which started on the dune had a little pocket of warblers along Bunker Pond including a Ruby-crowned Kinglet and many Palm Warblers.  Raptors were constantly seen overhead including American Kestrels, Merlins, Sharp-shinned Hawks, and Ospreys.
