Still being seen when I .left the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center Area. Earlier, Eric Miller, Doug Futumya and I made the schelp down the beach/muddy shoreline along Gerristen Creek trying to catch up with the swift moving * THICK-BILLED MURRE*.
Many thanks to Rob Jett who provided intel on the whereabouts of the bird as it moved from its original place from where it was found and thanks to A rie Gilbert, Jean Loscalzo and Captain Bob, who kept track of the bird's whereabouts via boat.
