The Stone Harbor Point walk tonight was quite enjoyable with mild temperatures, sunny skies and great birds. We started out with too many people on the beach, with dogs running loose, just enough to flush all the close birds. But when we got further down the beach, we had good looks at most of the species. The highlight was watching the Parasitic Jaeger chasing terns in the channel between Stone Harbor Point and Nummy Island and then landing on Stone Harbor Point providing great scope views for all participants. Leaders: Warren Cairo, Gail Dwyer and Shaun Bamford.
