DNCB Outing No. 2022-35A to Brunswick Point, August 30, 2022
We started today’s walk at 7:30 am because the dyke at Brunswick Point is hot and shade-less. With shorebird season in full swing, we also wanted to catch the high tide at the far end of the dyke.

It was a cloudy morning, threatening rain, but eight of the sign-ups showed up in a timely fashion at the parking spot at the end of Brunswick Point. Roger was forgiven for being late as he had awesome pictures of an American Kestrel that he had spotted on “Superman’s House” – the film set location

It started off as a wet morning but soon cleared up as the walk progressed. It was a very dull morning with a high blustery wind. Photography wasn’t easy. Nine people signed up for the Tuesday morning walk, and all showed up in spite of the bad forecast. The nine were: Mike B1, Lorna, Mike
