Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, August 13th, 2012

Water levels were up with less mudflats and shoreline, but we still managed some shorebirds including both Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Plover and Sandpiper, Pectoral and Least Sandpiper. The dune bayberry bushes contained Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Prairie Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and Field Sparrow. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg, Steve Weis, Dave Lord, Catherine Busch, and Janet Crawford.
