We led the Sunday morning walk at Dyke Marsh today, free to all every Sunday
at 0800 sponsored by the Friends of Dyke Marsh. Was cool most of the
morning with some fog and light drizzle early.
Horned Grebes put on a nice show including one in full breeding plumage less
than 2 feet off the shoreline in the picnic area. Northern Rough-winged and
Barn Swallows, Caspian Terns were also found. Wood Ducks were seen checking
out a possible nest hole which was a treat to all.
