A beautiful day, warm sun, cool breeze.  Our first-ever Free Family Bird Walk!  Bean Eberly led the group today, a small but cheerful collection of folks.  We started off by walking to the new marsh Trail (New Boardwalk), spent some time there, then down to the beach observation platform.  There was surely enough variety for everyone.  Here's our list for today:
