Hawks, Trails and Beach - Saturday, November 12th 2011

The Hawks, Trails, and Beach walk started with the Eurasian Wigeon on Lighthouse Pond and also enjoyed scope views of other species of ducks including American Wigeon, Northern Pintails, Gadwall, Green- and Blue-winged Teal, and Ruddy Ducks.  Raptors were scarce although we did see 3 Osprey. We finished the walk with a Tundra Swan on one of the Plover Ponds.
