From the parking lot, we had an Orchard Oriole and a Green Heron. Purple Martins were using the martin house as well as a House Sparrow. Walking toward the beach, we had Black-crowned Night Herons fly over. As we approached the top of the East Trail, there was a Red-tailed Hawk perched on a fence post being harassed by American Crows. As we watched, American Oystercatchers began making an unusual call and we found one of the fledged chicks hiding from the hawk in a hollow log on the beach. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Janet Crawford, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, Deb Payson, and Mary Watkins.
