Winter Evenings at the Meadows - Friday, March 23rd, 2012

Still a few ducks around but many seemed to have left for the breeding grounds. On the beach we found 1 Piping Plover and 4 American Oystercatchers. New bird of the year for some was an Osprey that flew over while we were still in the parking lot. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, and Catherine Busch.
