E-Z Birding - Tuesday, September 5th, 2017

Today's walk was the first of the season, and we started off with a feeding frenzy off shore - many gulls and terns diving to catch bait fish, accompanied by 5 Brown Pelicans. Our walk through the park found a number of migrant songbirds including six species of warblers. Two Blue-winged Teal were a treat as well. We were surprised by a perching Great Egret in the woods.
