The Walk for All People enjoyed a variety of birds as we strolled over the dune, along fresh water ponds, and through wooded areas. Highlights of the walk include many Osprey, close Northern Gannets, lots of Forster's Terns, five species of shorebirds including Wilson's Snipe, Spotted Sandpiper, Greater Yellowlegs, Dunlin, and Killdeer, Yellow-rumped Warblers approaching breeding plumage, Hermit Thrushes, and Brown Thrashers. Leaders: Chuck & MJ Slugg, Cindy Bamford, Marc & Lynne Breslow, Catherine Busch, and Bill Smythe.
