A few updates from over the weekend:
090509: Ray Duffy reports: I did a walk around sunset tonight at the Mill Creek Point Boardwalk. I had a Sora at about 5 yards running around and feeding just past the 2nd debris gate for about 10 minutes. I also had a Caspian Tern. Hopefully, a good sign for Birding Fest.
