A beautiful, sunny spring morning yielded a good variety of birds for our walk. Highlights include: lingering and breeding ducks such as Gadwall, Mallards, Green-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, Bufflehead, and Ring-necked Ducks; both Surf and Black Scoters were seen offshore; many Northern Gannets flying over ocean; raptors such as Bald Eagles, numerous Osprey, and Northern Harriers; and a Wilson's Snipe to end our walk. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, and Shaun Bamford.
