A good result on a cloudy, windy, cold day with temperature starting out at 36 F. The last two years we had 25 species in 2011 and 31 in 2010. The best highlight was a group of about 15 Surfbirds and 5 Black Turnstones resting on the rocks while waiting for the tide to go out so they could start feeding. They were about 15-20 ft. away and a lot of good photos were taken.
