The following birds were seen: osprey, herring gull, blue jay, brown pelican, royal tern, black-bellied plover, ring-billed gull, semipalmated plover, double-crested cormorant, great black-backed gull, great blue heron, lesser black-backed gull, Caspian tern, semipalmated sandpiper, dunlin, Forster’s tern, and black scoter (one in the ocean).
