Today's walk in steadily climbing temperatures had many of the hallmarks of what could have been a quiet morning - but we made it otherwise! One or two Wilson's Storm-petrels way offshore were a little too far to appreciate too well, but a Brown Pelican came in right over the state park and a gleaming white Roseate Tern on Bunker Pond was a new bird for some of the group. Piping Plovers were escorting their fluffy chicks onto the Plover Ponds and Orchard Orioles put on a pretty good showing. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Chris Marks, Warren Cairo, and Patty Rourke.
