The fog lifted for us this morning, the ocean was calm, and the rain held off until we were ready to head home. 12 birders went to Gartley Point and Marine Drive in Royston where we saw 38 species of birds, highlights being a nice assortment of water fowl and a flock of Dunlin and Black-bellied Plovers.
