Cape Ann (Halibut SP) 10/9

Yesterday I birded Halibut State Park before visiting my son in Marblehead, there was a fair amount of activity but nothing too remarkable, the complete list is below. I declined to stop at Goodharbor Beach as the parking lot looked like a Zoo when I passed at 11AM, didn't feel dealing with the tourist riff raff in the crowded parking lot....so I missed the Lark Bunting.

Swainson's Thrush from May 2010, near the parking lot at Halibut State park.
