Six hardy and enthusiastic birders bundled up and enjoyed a chilly and
blustery day in Hampton. A few hours on the beach (holding onto our
wind-blown scopes) and a few more in local parks, which were frosted with
a thin layer of snow, yielded 50 species of birds. Our thanks to Clark
White, who knew just where to find them! Thanks to all who turned out
and made it a great day!
