From the parking lot, we saw a Black-throated Green Warbler and late Blue-gray Gnatcatchers. There was a huge number of birds working the rips but they were too distant to identify. We did note some Royal Terns. Raptors included Merlin, Northern Harriers, and American Kestrels. The Black Swan and an Eurasian Wigeon continue on Bunker Pond. We also saw Wood Ducks and a Common Gallinule which was seen by the leader only. Another bird of note was a Tricolored Heron. For our herpetologists we had a large Black Rat Snake. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Megan Crewe, and Bert Hixon.
