EZ Birding enjoyed some excellent birds in spite of high humidity and overcast skies. We had great looks at Blue Grosbeaks, American Redstarts, and Yellow Warblers. On the beach, we had Great Black-backed and Lesser Black-backed Gulls sitting next to each other. We had great scope looks at Buff-breasted Sandpipers and an American Golden Plover. We also had a Brown Pelican and many Black Skimmers fly by. Leaders: Chuck & MJ Slugg, Lee Smythe, Janet Crawford, and Warren Cairo.
