Location:     North Point SP
Time: 7:30 - 10:30
Observation date:     4/16/11
Number of species:     46
Weather: east wind very hard; not yet raining

Highlights include:  14 Cattle Egrets, 3 Little Blue Herons, 1 Virginia Rail, 
one unidentified Tern (90% sure it was a Common Tern), and 1 unidentified 
flyover while driving (80% sure was a Glossy Ibis).

The Virginia Rail was heard calling from the causeway; and not far from there I 
found the Little Blue Herons (same place where they had a sizable breeding 
colony last year).

Good Birding!
