Due to the rain we adjourned to the porch of the Sunset Grill for some "sea" watching. Nice variety of gulls and terns in various plumages. Off shore were a few Northern Gannets, Surf and Black Scoter, and 2 Parasitic Jeagers. Around the Magnesite Plant were both Vultures, 2 Merlin and 3 American Kestrel. Sanderling and Ruddy Turnstones were on the beach and jetty. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Warren Cairo, Roger Horn, Catherine Busch, and Chris Marks.
