Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, April 27th, 2015

The variety of ducks was limited but there were two female Buffleheads on the Plover Pond. From the beach we had American Oystercatchers, two Common Loons, and a number of Northern Gannets. We also had several Eastern Willets flying about and calling with one perched on a post. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Janet Crawford, and Deb Payson.
