Peter,
 
A beautiful day for a walk. Everyone showed up and enjoyed themselves, I think. (Practically had the ferry to ourselves; only two other people aboard.) Hardly any birds, but we did have a very close encounter with two Red-tails swooping up and over the hill. List from ebird below. Just gulls and a few Mallards & Black Ducks in surrounding waters
 
Red Admiral and Colias sulphur butterflies; big Differential Grasshopper crossing the road (good Kestrel food; saw what must be the resident male Am Kestrel eating one on Thursday when I scouted the island out). 
 
Cheers,
 
Matthew
