Purple Martins flying overhead, Indigo Buntings calling, and an Eastern Kingbird flycatching greeted us in the parking lot. We had fleeting glimpses of the Common Gallinule in the cattails and a Lesser Yellowlegs calling. A flock of Cedar Waxwings perched in a bare tree in the sun and on the beach we had five American Oystercatcher chicks, three of which are about to fledge. Just offshore we had Black Scoter. Leader: Chuck Slugg.
