Several families new to birding joined us today for a walk around the park. Highlights of the walk included a large number of juvenile and adult terns on the beach, close looks at Lesser Yellowlegs and Killdeer, and an unexpected female Wood Duck sitting still for extended scope views on the marsh trail. We also enjoyed the gathering flock of Tree Swallows swirling around bayberries and sitting on the beach. Leaders: Catherine Busch, Chris Marks, and Steve Weis.
