Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, November 9th, 2015

We had a nice variety of ducks including Gadwall, Northern Pintail, Mallard, many Green-winged Teal, and the continuing female Redhead. On the beach, we had at least four Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Other birds of interest were the three continuing Long-billed Dowitchers, a late Stilt Sandpiper, and a dozen Dunlin. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Janet Crawford, and Mary Watkins.
