INAUGURAL HERRON ISLAND BIRD WALK Our island ornithologist, Joseph Pentheroudakis, hosted our first Bird Walk. More than a dozen people showed up very early for a tour of inland birds. They even found pigeon guillemots, small black birds which nest in the holes of the cliffs at South Beach. Joseph hopes to hold another walk this fall when the water birds begin to migrate. Thanks Joseph! |
| HERRON ISLAND SAILBOAT RACE XXII Seven boats entered the race this time. Of course, perfect winds before the race quit just as the race started. George Newcomb & Crew won the mono-hull division. Curt Bray & Keith Ellis won the multi-hull division. Many thanks to Curt for hosting the race - this year he came all the way from Nevada to be here!
