Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, June 15th, 2015

Threatening showers did not appear until the end of a slightly shortened walk. Otherwise, there were some good birds including a lingering American Wigeon, several Willets, American Oystercatchers with chicks, several Black Skimmers, and two singing Willow Flycatchers. One Lesser Black-backed Gull was found on the beach. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Janet Crawford, and Carrie Bell.
