EZ Birding got rained on and "sunned" on and enjoyed some good birds as well. Highlights include: Royal and Common Terns on the beach, Black Skimmers skimming and loafing, American Oystercatcher families with the dark tips on the bills of the young visible, large flocks of both Tree and Barn Swallows gathering in preparation for migration, and several flocks of Bobolinks binking overhead. Leaders: Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg, Janet Crawford, Lee Smythe, and Warren Cairo.
