Hi all,
Here are the results from the July 27 trip to Poplar Island, compiled by

weather was far better than expected, hot but low humidity and a nice
breeze.
En route to the dock, some other birds of interest were recorded:
Easton Airport: Grasshopper Sparrow, Blue Grosbeak
Knapp's Narrows (seen by all from boat but found by Jim Stasz earlier):
Red-breasted Merganser
