Sunday Morning at Turkey Point - Sunday, March 22nd, 2015

We saw 17 Bald Eagles, mostly immatures. We had a lot of Dunlin, Green-winged Teal and Bufflehead, along with two Common Merganser males at Maple Avenue. Also at Maple Avenue was a huge flock of Bonaparte's Gulls, who have been feeding when the tide is running. Leaders: Janet Crawford, Chris Marks, and Mary Watkins.
