Bird Walk for All People - Thursday, July 28th, 2016

Hot and very humid; overcast and foggy at times. Part of the trails at the State Park were blocked for repairs to boardwalks. Some highlights of the walk were: a flock of flyover Glossy Ibis, good looks at a Stilt Sandpiper, and close looks at Black Skimmer and American Oystercatcher at Bunker Pond. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Chris Marks, and Karl Lukens.
