Very chilly, cloudy morning with a light breeze. An Osprey overhead greeted us as we started the walk. Northern Gannets were flying over the dune. We saw Horned Grebes in the ocean and American Oystercatchers flying along the beach. Ducks have started to leave although we had numerous Gadwall. Leaders: Chuck Slugg & Karl Lukens.
