Hi Peter,

Well.......it was pretty slow....We thought the bird of the day was going to be a hummingbird moth....but all in all it was very beautiful and we did have some quality time with very close sanderlings and royal terns out on the beach. We went to  Floyd Bennett and spent some time there as well but it also was dead...

Here's the list. I'll send a note to the group as well.

Best regards,
Tom
