The SSBC trip to Wompatuck State Park this morning got off to a chilly sub-40 degree start at 6:30 a.m. Six participants walked the paths from the parking lot across from the visitors center until the main gate opened at 8. From there we walked a loop around Holly Pond, checked the area around Pleasant Street, then walked from N7 Gate(?) to the bridge, where the most action of the day occurred. It was a slow day for birds, but we did have 5 warbler species. The sun shone brightly and the winds were light. -Sally Avery
