Barbara Saunders and I (Ardith Bondi) went to the Coast Guard Station
(CGS), West End 2 (out to the jetty) and a brief stop at the Theodore
Roosevelt Nature Center (TRNC). The most noteworthy finding was a huge
raft of Common Eiders that spread on both sides of the jetty. We did not
see any terns at all.
