Escape To Gull Point (III)

Dateline: 29 May 2023

Budny Beach looking towards Gull Point

Piping Plover and Killdeer covered in other posts, so this is Part III of holiday Gull Point coverage from Monday.

Just a beautiful morning out at the point – sunny/mild/balmy. Plenty of bird activity including all the regulars: Canada Goose, gulls, Red-winged Blackbird, Song Sparrow, Killdeer, Barn Swallow, etc.
