Higbee Beach Bird Walk - Friday, May 24th, 2013

A little slow birding on a cloudy, muggy morning. We did manage a few warblers, i.e., 4 Prairie Warblers, 1 Redstart, and 2 Yellow-breasted Chats which provided good scope views. Also we had good views of Indigo Buntings, both male and female, as well as male and female Blue Grosbeaks, and Orchard Orioles. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Warren Cairo, Roger Horn, Catherine Busch, and Chris Marks.
