The late spring meant that Higbee Beach was not overly blessed with migrants today, but that just meant that we had more time to enjoy the activity over the bay. Northern Gannets were diving for fish, Ospreys fished along the shore and Sanderlings were fattening up on the tideline. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, Mary Watkins, and Megan Crewe.
