Sep 8, 2024 9:15 AM – 2:14 PM

Protocol: Traveling

7.0 mile(s)

Checklist Comments:    Brookline Bird Club Walk- Plum Island PRNWR- Leader Nick Paulson.  Sunny, cool and windy to start, warming as the day went. Quiet overall, shorebirds seemed to be flushed by Peregrines before we got to each stop, but finally we got good views of several shorebird species at Stage Island. The Guillemot continued to give good views at Emerson Rocks.
