Lots of waders and shorebirds flying over and feeding. A Great Egret, juvenile Snowy Egret, and juvenile Little Blue Heron were feeding close to each other providing a good comparison of the 3 white birds for all to see. Interesting birds were a couple of fly-over Bobolinks, numerous Yellowlegs, a Solitary Sandpiper and a returning Sanderling. Several Lesser Black-backed Gulls were on the beach. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, Warren Cairo, Catherine Busch, and Janet Crawford.
