It was a beautiful late summer evening tonight for CMBO's Stone Harbor Point walk. It was high tide with considerably fewer people on the beach than last week which gave us plenty of time to study the variety of gulls and terns present as well as good looks at Western Sandpipers. Undoubtably, the highlight of the walk was watching a Peregrine Falcon hunting along the beach and successfully picking a Semipalmated Plover off the beach right in front of us. Leaders: Warren Cairo, Gail Dwyer, and Shaun Bamford.
