gannets, tundra swans, rails, bitterns, and numerous types of waterfowl,
including surf scoters, buffleheads, and lesser scaups..
Participants wishing to carpool
should meet in the parking lot of Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock

can meet at Henley’s Do-It Center, 10859
General Puller Highway (Rt. 33) in Hartfield at
