Higbee Beach Bird Walk - Friday, April 19th, 2013

Good views of Northern Gannets, scoters, loons, and gulls in the bay near the Canal jetty and offshore. Also several Prairie Warblers in the dunes and dune forest. FOY for many was an Eastern Kingbird. The brilliant orange of an adult Baltimore Oriole was a highlight for all. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Warren Cairo, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, and Lisa Ryan.
