In a pre-Saturday Morning Birdwalk-abbreviated visit, a moderate-good flight passed over and through Sandy Point Beach, Cousin's Island, Yarmouth this am. With very light west winds, birds were often very high, and quite a few pulses departed to the south of the bridge - resulting in a fairly poor early season "batting average" of identified birds!
