Spring Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, May 4th, 2013

Nice weather (except for East wind) but the birding was rather slow. We did manage to get a singing Blue Grosbeak for good scope views. Singing Common Yellowthroats were not easily seen. We did have 4 Wilson's Snipe fly off, and good looks at a Solitary Sandpiper. We did hear 1, possibly 2 Prothonotary Warblers, but could not get a view of the bird. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Roger Horn, and Catherine Busch.
