Higbee's Beach WMA Group 1 - Friday, September 30th 2011

This week's Upland Sandpiper did us proud by staying until the end of the week and we had some nice fly-bys from two of a group of migrating Red-headed Woodpeckers that had been reported by other observers. Four fly-over female Boat-tailed Grackles were a rare addition to the Higbee's walk list!
