Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, August 26th, 2013

A little cool until the clouds cleared away. Still shorebirds present but numbers less. Good looks at Semipalmated Plover and Semipalmated Sandpiper, Glossy Ibis, American Oystercatcher, Lesser Black-backed Gull, and Royal and Caspian Terns. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds seemed to be all over the place. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, Mike Hannisian, Catherine Busch, Shaun Bamford, and Carrie Bell.
