Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, September 22nd, 2012

Started and ended the walk with Blue Grosbeaks in the scope. Rather slow for passerines, but a few raptors including a perched Merlin helped fill in the day. Four Black-crowned Night-Herons, 2 adult and 2 immature, provided good scope looks at the Willow Pond. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy & Roger Horn, Warren Cairo, and Catherine Busch.
