On this last day of our three day tour, we observed very high tide conditions at Crown Memorial State Beach and Arrowhead Marsh. Weather was cool and windy with variable clouds. In both locations, hard-to-see rails were flushed out of their normal haunts, obliging them to seek the top of boardwalks, floating logs, or other highly unlikely perches.

In addition to the species listed, other participants on this trip observed: Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Anna's hummingbird, Forester's tern, short-billed dowitcher, cackling goose.
