April 25, 2015   Fox Island

It was cold, windy and raining this morning; nevertheless, ten hard-core birders showed up at Fox Island for Stockbridge Audubon's field trip.  After a couple of hours, however, with conditions not improving and bird activity dropping off, even the hard-core softened and we threw in the towel.
