Ten capable and enthusiastic birders joined us on a cold (for May) and
breezy morning for the weekly Dyke Marsh tour of the Belle Haven picnic area
and marina and a stroll down Haul Road. This walk is held every Sunday of
the year, except during Christmas Bird Counts; it meets at 8:00 at the
picnic area, and all are welcome.

Kurt Gaskill reported finding a Canada Warbler between the marina and Haul
Road, but it was not apparent when our group went through that area.
Also, a brief stop at the stone bridge at ~ 7:00 am yielded 12 Semipalmated
Sandpipers, 3 Wood Ducks, and a Spotted Sandpiper.
Kurt's posted his findings on the nearby bike trail a few minutes ago.
