Fall Migrants at The Rea Farm - Saturday, October 31st, 2015

Although Swamp, Song and Savannah Sparrows plus Yellow-rumped Warblers ruled the day, there were several other highlights. Vesper Sparrow, American Kestrel and Eastern Meadowlark were popular "scope birds" but the raucous calls of mobbing American Crows drew attention in time for many to see the Great-horned Owl being harassed by the unwelcoming corvids. Group 1 Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn.
