A beautiful day and a large group of birders of varying ages made for an exciting walk. On the beach, we had a Whimbrel, American Oystercatchers, Sanderlings, Royal Tern, and Laughing, Ring-billed, Herring, and Great Black-backed Gulls. As we walked past the ponds, we saw Belted Kingfishers, Blue-winged Teal, and Gadwalls, as well as Mallards. We also saw Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets. Leaders: Chuck Slugg and Warren Cairo.
