Breeding Birds at the Rea Farm - Saturday, June 9th, 2012

Again, the start at the parking lot was very good with perched and singing Blue Grosbeak and 1st summer Orchard Oriole as well as Indigo Bunting. Several flyover Green Herons and Snowy Egrets were seen. We also had good views of Great Crested Flycatchers and a calling and fly-by Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Warren Cairo, Dave Lord, and Carrie Bell.
