Great looks at all five expected back bay terns (Caspian, Royal, Forster's, Common, Least). Enthusiastic young birders had great looks at multiple Clapper Rails, Short-billed Dowitchers, and Whimbrel. Perhaps the most amusing sighting was the Snowy Egret that was clinging on a piling, moving up and down the pole like a nuthatch! Leaders: Bob Lubberman & Dave Lord.
