Overcast, raw morning. Out in the channel, there was an interesting mix this morning. COMMON LOON, RED-THROATED LOON, RED-NECKED GREBE, COMMON GOLDENEYE and GREATER SCAUP. On the marsh, a BELTED KINGFISHER and GREAT BLUE HERON. A bit of sun when I left. Sy Schiff Sent from Mail for Windows 10

A slow day at the Marine Nature Study Area. One Great Blue Heron flew by, no Egrets or other birds in the marsh. Two small birds feeding together in the dunes turned out to be a Ruby-crowned Kinglet and an Orange-crowned Warbler. Other birds included a single Palm Warbler, 2 American Robins
