Twilight Watch at the Meadows - Wednesday, September 5th, 2012

The target bird on tonight's Meadows walk was a Lark Sparrow.  It had been reported earlier in the day and we were fortunate enough, with Lesley's help, to locate it.   It was very close and remained on the ground in dense grass making it difficult to see, but everyone did get a good look at the bird.  Leaders: Warren Cairo and Bill Smythe.
