Sundowner by Boat - Tuesday, July 21st, 2015

It was a beautiful evening aboard The Osprey! The Osprey chicks are getting ready to fledge, many shorebirds are returning from their breeding grounds, and the Laughing Gull chicks are begging loudly. It was great seeing the Whimbrels have returned too, many individuals and large groups flying in. All topped off with a beautiful sunset!  Leader: Warren Cairo.
