Sixteen birders traveled about 80 miles (almost 2 hours), leaving Medford Leas at 7 a.m., to reach Bombay Hook. This National Wildlife Refuge has many environments, including\u00a0 impoundments of fresh water and tidal salt marsh. The day became beautiful with blue sunny skies and a brisk, warm north-west wind. We saw the majority of the species before lunch.<\/p>
