After the exuberance of Autumn Weekend, it was a small but select group that enjoyed a wonderful red sunrise, followed by some great birds at the state park. After a rush of early morning Yellow-rumped Warblers and Pine Siskins, we were treated to Parasitic Jaegers pursuing just about anything in the rips, a great flight of Northern Gannets, and an American Bittern that flew gracefully over Bunker Pond. Cooper's Hawks lurked along the dune line and put on a great show too. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, and Steve Weis.
