We began the walk with a Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, and Black Vultures from the parking lot. Looking from the dune toward the rips, we saw Northern Gannets and lines of scoters moving. Way out to sea, there were hundreds of Double-crested Cormorants moving. On Bunker Pond, the Black Swan was among many species of ducks. We had a Snowy Egret fly into the pond and a Cattle Egret fly over. Yellow-rumped Warblers were everywhere! At the back pond, we had an American Bittern fly over and land out of sight and, lastly, we found a Brown Creeper in the wooded area. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Barb Bassett, and Mary Watkins.
