We started by going to the boardwalk to check the Long Island Sound for seabirds and ducks. We ddid manage to get looks at a few, and sometimes far waterfowl. There were Common Loon and White-winged Scoter seen through the scope.
After we left the boardwalk and headed to the hedgerow we spotted a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, which gave most of us good looks. The we headed to the brush piles at the western end of the parks and saw Song Sparrows and Juncoes.
The second half of the walk was at the eastern end of the park by the spillway. We did a loop around the near pond. At the bridge over the ponds we encountered a flock of Cedra Waxwings feeding on berries in the trees, The sunshine and the waxwings were spectacular, well worth the price of
admission.
