Today’s trip to the Scarborough Marsh area was a great success.
The morning fog burned off quickly as we traveled south on the turnpike. We started at Dunstan Landing,
then on to the Audubon center, Pelreco building, Pine Point and the Clam Shack.
Ten people were on the trip, 43 species seen and/or heard.
Participants: Tom (co-leader) and Susan Hayward, Carole Jean, Michael Reidy, Alan and Linda Seamans (co-leader & recorder),
Jim Walker, Anne Williams, James Williams, and Carol Bradford.
