Twilight Watch at the Meadows - Wednesday, October 10th, 2012

We enjoyed the raptors flying above the meadows, especially the two female/juvenile males hovering and continually diving for prey with glowing light on them. The Soras were elusive but we enjoyed watching two of them feed (reportedly there were 4.) Leaders: Patty Rourke and Bill Smythe.
