Six birders went to Ship’s Point this morning where we saw 22 species. We were greeted with wind and rough sea at the Park which made it a challenge for finding birds bobbing in the waves to say the least. We headed over to the Fanny Bay Conservation Area where the bay was calm making for much easier seeing and identifying the water fowl.
