There were flying Royal Terns over the beach with Forster's and Common Terns on the beach along with a mixture of gulls with Great Black-backed and Laughing Gulls predominating. Short-billed Dowitchers were feeding among the Mute Swans and the lone Black Swan on Bunker Pond. A large flock of Canada Geese were also on the beach with American Oystercatchers. There were Palm Warblers in the dunes. In the wooded area, we had a nice mix of warblers including American Redstarts, Black-and-White, Northern Parula, and Yellow along with Carolina Chickadees. Wood Ducks were found in the back pond area. As we made our way back to the parking lot, we saw a Belted Kingfisher. Leaders: Chuck Slugg & Bert Hixon.
