It was the perfect afternoon to be out on the Osprey for the final CMBO Migration Cruise of the season. Shorebirds are still plentiful, and we had close-up looks at many of them including Marbled Godwits, Ruddy Turnstones, Semi-palmated Plovers, Red Knots, American Oystercatchers, Black-bellied Plovers and Sanderlings. We also got close to Caspian, Royal and Forsters Terns, as well as both Black and Yellow-crowned Night Herons. On the return trip, one of our participants found a handsome adult Peregrine Falcon tucked into a bridge support overhead.
