Outer Cape 10/8

From Glenn d'Entremont:

21 birders of a combined group of Brookline Bird Club and South Shore Bird Club members were on the outer cape Saturday.  107 species was tallied; though not any one individual saw all 107, but most were probably over 100.  This was a very enthusiast group and despite it's size we were able to move right along covering several habitats.  Highlights were a continuing American Avocet at Nauset marsh, a continuing Yellow-crowned Night-Heron coming out of the Hemenway Road roost at dusk, American Golden-plover at First Encounter Beach, a very cooperative Yellow-billed Cuckoo and two Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers at Wellfleet Bay WS, Yellow-breasted Chat at Herring Pond in Eastham, two Blue Grosbeak at the Eastham Stump Dump, a Seaside Sparrow at Fort Hill, and a couple of flyover siskin.

F-First Encounter, Eastham, P-Provincetown (Herring Cove to Race Point parking area), W-Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, H-Fort Hill, Eastham, remainder at Eastham unless noted.
