Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, September 15th, 2012

A little slow on migrants this morning, but we did run into apparently 2 families of Blue Grosbeaks totaling at least 7 birds. A few raptors were overhead including Osprey, Sharp-shinned, and Cooper's Hawks, and at least 3 adult Bald eagles. We also had a brief look at an empidonax flycatcher, and good looks at a pair of Great Crested Flycatchers. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Warren Cairo, Claudia Burns, Roger & Kathy Horn, and Elizabeth Errickson.
