Hi Peter,

We had a beautiful and colorful fall day for our walk to FBF and Plumb Beach yesterday. Heydi kept us on track and we covered a lot of territory. We saw over 60 species with some great highlights including Royal Tern, Nelson's Sparrow, 3 species of falcon, 10 species of sparrow, lots of golden-crowned kinglets,

Here's the list and a couple of photos from an enjoyable day.

Best regards,
Tom
