Bird Walk for All People - Thursday, July 4th, 2013

The Walk for All People celebrated the 4th of July with beautiful weather and some interesting birds. Highlights include: great looks at a pair of Blue Grosbeaks; American Oystercatchers; pair of Black Skimmers in flight; large flock of Glossy Ibis and a single Green Heron; and several House Wrens. We also had an interesting snake, a Black Racer coiled around a bayberry shrub. Leader: Chuck Slugg.
