Bird Walk for All People - Thursday, August 11th, 2016

Highlights of the walk were: a good mix of terns including Common, Least, Forster's, and Royal; shorebirds coming in, including Stilt Sandpiper, and flyover Sanderlings in full breeding plumage; Belted Kingfisher flyover; and a Peregrine Falcon clutching what looked like a Least Tern in its talons. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Chris Marks, & Karl Lukens.
