Back Bay Birding by Boat on The Osprey - Monday, October 14th, 2013

CMBO's Back Bay Birding by Boat aboard the Osprey had wonderful looks at the sole Black-crowned Night-Heron that hadn't fled from the north-east winds, the two juvenile Whimbrel that were still in the Taylor Sound area, and many of the expected migrant shorebirds. The highlight was the couple of Common Loons, our first migrants for Fall 2013!
