We broke with tradition on today's walk and abandoned the windy woods for the busy activity of the beach and bay. Plenty of Laughing Gulls and mixed terns were feeding reasonably close in the rips and included both an adult and a first-summer Black Tern. A Roseate Tern was on the beach with the Black Skimmers and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Little Blue Heron were surprise fly-overs. Way, way offshore, a Brown Pelican and some Wilson's Storm-petrels were 'speck'tacular additions to the list. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Christina Marks, Karl Lukens, and Steve Weis.
