Higbee Beach Bird Walk - Friday, April 12th, 2013

On a rainy morning we went to the wet woods trail off field #4 (Platform Field) in search of a Pileated Woodpecker that was seen prior to the walk by Roger Horn. No luck, but we did get Red-bellied, Downy, Hairy and Flicker. Also a nice find was a Blue-headed Vireo and a Wild Turkey. On the way out New England Rd. every one saw about 6 more Turkeys. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Roger Horn, Catherine Busch, and Chris Marks.
