We started off by watching the young Osprey on the nest platform eating a fish which we hope he caught himself since his parents seem to have migrated already, and he has been sitting there begging for food most of the week. The ponds were quiet although there were a lot of geese. Highlights of the walk include: Merlin, great looks at American Oystercatchers, and a Black-crowned Night Heron flying over at the end. Leaders: Chuck Slugg and Barb Bassett.
