RESULTS of the Stanton Bird Club's Ogunquit field trip
After a somewhat bleak start, including a little drizzle on the drive to Ogunquit,
The weather slowly got better and eventually became rather pleasant, partly
sunny day.
As promised, we had the Harlequin Ducks, in good numbers, and some Gannets,
including a very close eye-level fly-by by an immature bird.
Participants included Bonnie Soper, Linda Seimans, Tom Hayward, and Dan Marquis
(leader and recorder).
