Shorebirds at Heislerville with Pete Dunne - Thursday, April 23rd, 2015

There were some surprises in the impoundments today. We saw a Caspian Tern, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Red-throated Loon and a lingering Ruddy Duck. We had great looks at Tree, Barn and one Rough-winged Swallow, who were close and swooping low over the impoundment due to the wind. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Janet Crawford, and Shaun Bamford.
