A wonderful variety of ducks, including a couple of Blue-winged Teal, were looking quite spiffy in the morning light in the ponds behind the dunes. Eastern Bluebirds adorned the parking lot, no less than eight Great Egrets hugged the sunny pond edges and a flock of 30 Tree Swallows swirled overhead, hopefully on their way south ahead of next week’s cold front.
