Hi everyone (and Peter),
It was a beautiful weather and a great group today at Nickerson, with some really nice finds.
Highlights for me included the walk-away views of a close Roseate Tern, the (Common? with longer snout than Atlantic Bottlenose?) Dolphins that were putting on a great show, the plethora of Saltmarsh Sparrows, and the fairly friendly Marsh Wren.
Here's the list of the 44 species I remember. Let us know what I may have missed.
And thanks to Barbara for doing the eBird list.
See you all again in the field.
Best regards,
Tom
