As we started, there were a number of young American Crows calling and trying to sound like Fish Crows. Soon, some Fish Crows called so we could compare sounds. The young Osprey is still sitting on the platform and begging to be fed although neither adult was seen. A Downy Woodpecker flew over and an elusive Indigo Bunting darted into vegetation and was hard to see. The Baird's Sandpiper remains with a large number of Least Sandpipers. American Oystercatchers, including four juveniles, were still on the beach. Great and Snowy Egrets were slurping down small eels. Leaders: Chuck Slugg & Barb Bassett.
