Higbee Beach Birding - Friday, October 18th, 2013

A quiet day with few new migrants, but scoters were moving off-shore, Northern Flickers and Blue Jays continued their noisy daily commutes, and raptors hunting overhead kept us entertained. Highlights included a Winter Wren, three Eastern Meadowlark, and many Yellow-rumped Warblers. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Megan Crewe, Chris Marks, and Catherine Busch
