Scarborough Marsh and Pine Point 5/30/2015
Dan Marquis, Stan and Joan DeOrsey, and trip leader Steve Reed went south in hopes of finding the reported Little Gull and Black-headed Gull. We were unable to find them, but we were able to see 47 other birds. The Ruddy Turnstones seen at close range in nice light were our bird of the day.
If someone (D.M.) hadn’t forgotten to put an SD Card in his camera we would have had some nice photos to share.
