A damp, foggy spring morning did not dampen our spirits or the birds that surrounded us with songs and chip notes as we explored the fields and woods of Higbee Beach. A foray to the canal gave us close looks at Purple Sandpipers, Red-throated Loons, Horned Grebes and two Bonaparte's Gulls at the water's edge. Leaders: David LaPuma, Chris Marks, Roger and Kathy Horn, Mary Watkins, and Catherine Busch.
