It was warm and muggy for our guests from Hawaii and Canada. On the beach, we were greeted by terns such as Least and Forster's and gulls such as Laughing, Herring, and Great Black-backed. We also saw some Northern Rough-winged Swallows around the Bunker and had some Glossy Ibis fly over. Bunker Pond had several Common Terns flying over and Black Skimmers in the air and on the beach. There was a plethora of Mute Swans and Canada Geese on the ponds as well as a Gadwall hen with ducklings. We heard a number of Yellow-breasted Chats calling and saw one perched in the morning sun glowing like a neon light. Leader: Chuck Slugg.
