Hawks, Trails and Beach - Saturday, October 8th 2011

The Hawks, Trails and Beach Walk had good scope looks at a perched Red-tailed Hawk, a Cooper's Hawk, and a flying Bald Eagle.  Northern Parulas and Yellow-rumped Warblers were numerous and we also watched Brown Creepers creeping up the trees.  The Ring-necked Duck on Bunker Pond was a great finish.
