15 birders joined me this morning for the weekly (except during CBC) survey
of Belle Haven picnic area and Marina and Dyke Marsh. This walk is free
and open to all.
Highlight was excellent views of Prothonotary warbler along Haul Road.
We also stopped at low tide at Hunting creek but alas, no Avoocet.
