I did not attend this bird walk. However, Don Laufer did and took a very nice set of photos.

Don tells me he thought about 28 people showed up for the first bird walk since the Co-Vid-19 pandemic began in March 2020. He made the following comments.
It was overcast all morning.
Everything but the Royal ave extension and platform was blocked off.
There were a lot of Marsh Wrens singing
and we saw several flocks of Greater White-fronted Geese fly over.
One flock of Least Sandpipers was seen as we went out towards Tern Is.
but they flew off before we could get very close.
A Bittern was seen by a few out in the grasses before we got to the area of the platform.
