The South Shore Bird Club trip to World's End had 7 participants to begin with some leaving early due to other commitments.  Helen Cross was the leader and a good time was had by all.  We encountered most of the "normal" migrants for this time of year in small numbers.  A surprise were 2 gannets inside the harbor sitting on the water. Non-bird highlights was a good look at a Juvenal's Duskywing.
