Not many ducks on the ponds, as most have left for their breeding grounds further north. American Oystercatchers were paired up on the beach and we were also fortunate enough to see a Piping Plover on the beach which have been absent the last 2 years. Hopefully it will find a partner and nest on the beach. We also had two Lesser Black-backed Gulls and three Least Terns which were FOY for many observers. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Pat Perkins, Janet Crawford, Lynne & Marc Breslow, and Warren Cairo.
