It was a beautiful afternoon although a bit windy. The usual birds were present including a large number of Ospreys, lots of terns including Forster's and Least, very vocal American Oystercatchers on the beach, and several Black Skimmers flying over Bunker Pond. There was also a good mix of swallows including Tree, Barn, Northern Rough-winged, and Purple Martins. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Deb Payson, and Pat Perkins.
