We went to two areas of the park. First, we started at Burton Island and saw three firsts of the season: osprey, great egret, and pine warbler. Other birds seen included bufflehead, red-breasted merganser, one greater scaup, black-crowned night-heron, tree swallow, boat-tailed grackle, house finch, yellow-rumped warbler, and Carolina chickadee. Our second stop was at the Indian River Inlet. Some of the birds we identified were osprey, common loon, red-throated loon, northern gannet, long-tailed duck, dunlin, ruddy turnstone, double-crested cormorant, and great black-backed gull.
