EZ Birding enjoyed beautiful spring weather and a good variety of birds as we strolled through the State Park. There was a huge Northern Gannet display offshore and American Oystercatchers and Piping Plover on the beach. Mallards, Gadwalls, and Blue-winged Teal were present on the ponds while Forster's Terns and Tree Swallows wheeled in the air. A very cooperative Carolina Wren, Common Yellow-throats, and Yellow-rumped Warblers added to our enjoyment. Leaders: Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg.
