Eleven birders had a great day exploring Cape Ann together, and although we didn't find every single species hoped for, we were happy with 37 species and we did see. Especially, the Thick-billed Murres, up close, and the King Eiders and Redheads were real treats. Beyond the birds, it was a beautiful day in a beautiful area with a congenial group of enthusiastic birders. Thanks to Don Heitzman for a wonderful and well organized day!
