One consolation of the wind blowing was that the "no-see-ums" were at bay for the 13 birders. Morning started overcast, but that did not deter the Clapper Rails that were calling back and forth in the marsh. This one just sat up on the top of the reeds for the longest time and gave us all opportunities for photos. Marsh Wrens, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, Parulas, and Pine Warbler were a few of our sightings. We spotted a flying bird that took some identifying. Thanks to Effie Smith who helped with the ID. At first with the long tail, it seemed to be a Mississippi Kite, but after checking the photo on computer, it was determined to be a migrating Northern Harrier. Then out to the boat ramp we added a few more with the Willets all in a row. Here is the eBird link to the 33 species seen. https://ebird.org/checklist/S133601118
