The beach in the harbor was chock full of birds gorging on Horseshoe Crab Eggs. Hundreds of Turnstones and Semipalmated Sandpipers made a frenzy of activity on the beach. A nice array of herons showed up in Turtle Creek, and included a Black-crowned Night-Heron, a Green Heron and a Tri-colored Heron! Leaders: Bob Lubberman and David Lord.
