This morning’s fog restricted our view, especially over the water, but really allowed us to focus on birding by ear. Many of our heard birds were also seen, providing a great opportunity to watch the birds sing. Field Sparrows and Northern Mockingbirds were particularly vocal along the dune, Common Yellow-throats along the marsh boardwalk, Pine Warblers in the wooded area and Forsters Terns could be heard throughout the park.
