Migration and post-breeding dispersal was evident today with the addition of new species to our weekly walk - Great Blue Heron, Greater Yellowlegs, Short-billed Dowitcher, and the welcome sight of two Piping Plover on the beach. The growing group of Black Skimmer continues to demonstrate courting behavior. The summering Black Scoter had gathered in a raft offshore, and there was one Ring-billed Gull on the beach with the Laughing Gulls and terns. Leaders: Catherine Busch, Chris Marks, and Steve Weis.
