Bird Walk for All People - Thursday, July 24th, 2014

There were a variety of terns including Common, Forster's, Least, and Royal. There was also a good mix of swallows with Purple Martins, Barn, Tree, and Northern Rough-winged; and Tree Swallows were beginning to stage with a large flock on the beach. We also saw a Spotted Sandpiper in Plover Pond. Leaders: Chuck Slugg and Warren Cairo.
