Cloudy, windy, and chilly. Highlights of today's walk include: Over 100 assorted swallows sitting on the parking lot (most were Barn Swallows with some Tree, Northern Rough-winged, and Purple Martins); a feisty Cooper's Hawk harassing a Red-tailed Hawk; good looks at a pair of Palm Warblers; and American Oystercatchers on the beach. Leaders: Chuck Slugg & Nancy Watson.
