Sunset Birding at the Meadows - Friday, September 14th, 2012

A nice array of ducks with a few waders and a couple shorebirds. The highlight was at the end when about a dozen and a half Common Nighthawks flew over and circled the meadows, some rather close. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg, Kathy & Roger Horn, Dave Lord, and Erin Lehnert.
