Sunset Birding at Stone Harbor Point - Tuesday, September 13th, 2016

The Stone Harbor Point walk tonight was much nicer than last week's...no biting insects and lot of birds.  We were able to get good looks at Western Sandpipers, American Oystercatchers and nice comparisons between Great and Lesser Black-backed Gulls. There were a many Caspian and Royal Terns as well.  Leaders: Warren Cairo, Gail Dwyer, Shaun Bamford, and Bill Boyle.
