E-Z Birding, Tuesday, September 27th 2011

Patchy fog made for patchy birding for the EZ Birding Walk!  We had good looks at perched American Kestrels in the fog and assorted ducks on Lighthouse Pond.  When the fog lifted and the sun came out we enjoyed a variety of raptors moving overhead including a Red-tailed Hawk and a Red-shouldered Hawk.
