CMBO Sunset Birding at the Meadows -TNC. Another good evening birding walk at the Meadows. Shorebirds were the stars of the show with a Wilson's Phalarope playing hide-and-seek in the Saltmarsh Fleabane and an American Golden Plover on the beach (and another, or same bird, later east of the east path on the far mud flats). And for a bonus, a White-winged Dove gave us a look as it flew over the meadows!
