We began our walk at Stone Harbor Point with great expectations having heard promising reports from a group just finishing their walk. However, it appeared that the falcons they reported had cleared the beach. We moved on to Nummy island which proved to be very good. The highlight was seeing three Clapper Rails casually bathing and preening and providing great looks for all. Leaders: Warren Cairo, Gail Dywer, and Shaun Bamford.
