A very windy evening at Stone Harbor Point tonight but lots of interesting birds. We began with a very large group of American Oystercatchers and a lone Red Knot. Then a very large flock of shorebirds were put to flight further up the beach. They circled around and around and finally settled down right in front of us providing great looks at Western Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers. On the return from the beach, while searching out Savannah Sparrows, we were buzzed by a very low flying Peregrine Falcon. A fun night. Leaders: Shaun Bamford, Warren Cairo, Michael McCabe and Chris & Gerry Dewaghe.
