Bird Walk for all People - Thursday, August 9, 2018


Very pleasant weather! Highlights include large mixed flock of terns on the beach, along with about 200 tree swallows, which performed a mini-swirl over the bayberry dunes, a little blue heron juvenile rd in flight, and 3 species of shorebirds. Fabulous scoped Blue Grosbeak singing away in the sun.
