Bird Walk for All People - Thursday, August 21st, 2014

This morning's walk included several young people who were enthusiastic about seeing a variety of birds. Highlights include: a plethora of mute swans who, unfortunately, seem to have taken over Bunker Pond; good looks at Common and Forster's Terns, with a few Royal Terns flying by; several   Lesser Yellowlegs; a scattering of Least Sandpipers with a few Semipalmated Sandpipers mixed in; and close looks at Ospreys fishing in Bunker Pond. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Warren Cairo, and Deb Payson.
