EZ Birding - Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

EZ Birding highlights include many Osprey overhead (most with fish or eels), close Northern Gannets from the dune, Purple Martins and Tree, Northern Rough-winged, and Barn Swallows. We also enjoyed excellent scope views of Wilson's Snipe along the banks of the ponds. Leaders: Chuck & MJ Slugg, Warren Cairo.
