At this time of the year, many of the ducks are heading to their breeding grounds. Mallards, Black Ducks, and Gadwall as well as Green- and Blue-winged Teal are still present. American Oystercatchers were observed actively defending territory and setting up nests. Two Lesser Black-backed Gull were compared with immature Great Black-backed Gulls.. The resident Osprey were on the platform and we were able to observe the male bringing a stick to add to the nest. Leaders: Brett Ewald, Chris Marks, & Mary Watkins.
