As we gathered at the Beanery for this morning's walk, the rain was pouring down with no signs of clearing. So we moved to the (covered) Grill at Sunset Beach for some quality bay-watching time. Between the birds huddled or hustling on the beach and the fly-bys, including six tern species (Least, Common, Forster's, Black, Royal & Caspian), it was an interesting morning. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, & Kyle Chelius.
