2.25 mile(s)
Checklist Comments: Cape Cod Bird Club co-sponsored walk with Brookline Bird Club. Observed from the fish pier, the playground at the end of Scusset Beach Road and the jetty. I saw that Ross Sormani was at Scusset yesterday and had some nice birds on the side trails but our group had a few more stops to make today so stuck with the main highlights. Thanks to regular CCBC walk participants Phyllis L and Ron C for participating. A warm welcome to Lisa G, Jackie A, Benjamin L and Dylan T for jumping on this trip. Also happy to see Cape Flyrodder Scott D. It was my first time leading a waterfowl prowl so thanks to everyone for their participation and contributions.
