Birding Cumberland County - Sunday, November 13th 2011

The full day Birding Cumberland trip turned up trumps with happy participants satisfied on great birding experiences. Bald Eagles were around in the expected numbers and Northern Harriers pleased everyone, coursing over marsh and field. The oddest sighting would have to be the point-blank Whimbrel that flew by at the Glades Wildlife Refuge near Fortescue. Horned Larks were vocalizing and giving good looks, while American Pipits were in our faces.
