It was a sultry summer day with a good representation of local breeders including a young American Oystercatcher chick on the beach. Highlights for today's group of fairly new birders included good looks at Black Skimmer, Indigo Bunting, and a Black-crowned Night-Heron on Al's Pond. Newly fledged spotted American Robin were seen throughout the wooded areas of the park. Leaders: Catherine Busch and Chris Marks.
