Ruth Beck and I ran into Bob Ake at Craney Island this morning and he rode
around the island with us for a couple of hours. Highlights were Black
Skimmers, Least Terns, Black-necked Stilt, and White-rumped Sandpipers.
Many Thanks, Bob!!
Here is the full list between 10:30 am and 1:55 pm (Ah. also a Ground Hog!)
