Sunset Birding at Stone Harbor Point - Tuesday, October 8th, 2013

Another pleasant evening at the Point. The temperature was considerably cooler than last week, mid- 60's, but clear.  Lots of egrets and scoters apparently heading south.  Nice looks at a pair of Peregrine Falcons perched giving great scope views.  Leaders: Warren Cairo, Gail Dwyer and Shaun Bamford.
