  There were only supposed to be 3 of us there: Marion, Lindly and Glen. At 08:00 we called Lindly to check and she had thought it would be bad weather so decided last night not to come. We told her it was looking pretty good – overcast but dry enough – so she said she

  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

  Some of the group gathered at the Ferry Terminal and got some great views of Black Turnstone, Black Oystercatcher, cormorants, grebes, loons, and diving ducks. I missed that as I spent an extra half hour on coffee and joined the group at Reifel Bird Sanctuary at 9am. There were 14 of us for that part
