Bayshore Birding at Its Best - Sunday, November 8th, 2015

It was a beautiful November day, and we saw lots of birds, including Bald Eagles, Northern Harriers, Dunlin, both Yellowlegs, and Black-bellied Plovers. We heard Sandhill Cranes. The highlights of the day were an amazingly cooperative Sora that strolled past the entire group and walked between Mary Watkins' legs and a nice look at a flock of American Pipits. Leaders: Janet Crawford, Chris Marks, Chuck and Mary Jane Slugg and Mary Watkins.
