Comments: The cruise ship Seaborne Sojourn for an "Ocean Trail Hike" from Sand Beach to Otter Point. What a sunny blue sky day with northwesterly winds putting us in the Lee and warm sunshine. Many good birds today but the best was a small flock of 30 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS found along the shoreline Spruce trees. 31F this morning in Town Hill... the old man (winter) is coming!
