October 13, 2013  The Big Sit at Fox Island

I counted 23 people, so the birds outnumbered us. Several were park visitors but most were Stockbridge members. In true Stockbridge tradition, several brought refreshments. All sightings were recorded on a whiteboard, with much ceremony. Natalie had park binoculars for visitors to use. A very pleasant afternoon with 36 birds ! - - CP
