Sunset Birding at Stone Harbor Point - Tuesday, October 13th, 2015

Our first walk at Stone Harbor Point following the lengthy Nor’Easter. A lot has changed, it’s now 2.0 miles from the parking lot to the point at low tide and there is a 4’ drop along the beach side. Even with these changes, it was a fun evening. We had super close looks at a Piping Plover and many American Oystercatchers. We finished off with another beautiful sunset. Leaders: Warren Cairo, Gail Dwyer, and Shaun Bamford.
