Higbee Beach was a little quiet by Higbee standards, but still gave us an inspiring morning. It was noticeable that mid- to late-season migrants were starting to appear, with Common Loon, Wood Duck, Eastern Phoebe and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers being first-of-seasons for our Higbee walks. A Pine Siskin was a surprise fly-over, heading north toward the dike.
