CMBO Evening Walk at "The Meadows" - TNC. The "parking lot Indigo Bunting" showed up on the wire to greet us at the start of the walk as it has for many weeks, but definitely not expected was the sight of a male Common Yellowthroat attending to three almost full-grown Brown-headed Cowbirds! Otherwise American Oystercatcher and Piping Plover chicks were nice to see on the beach. Finally in the woods far east of the east path we found a perched Great Horned Owl which provided good scope views.
