Marine Nature Study Area 19 May Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) walked around on a foggy day. The west side of the pond harbored the birds associated with a marsh environment; namely, 2 CLAPPED RAILS, 2 MARSH WRENS and 2 singing SEASIDE SPARROWS in the phragmites along the trail. Saltmarsh Sparrows have not arrived yet. A few hundred shorebirds of the 6 commoner species gave us some things to do..
There was no breeze and the "no-see-ums" were very annoying. Bring bug-juice.
