Winter Evening at the Meadows - Friday, February 21st, 2014

A rainy, breezy, evening with the threat of thunder storms but we did manage to find a nice variety of ducks. Also six peenting American Woodcocks and saw one. The surprise however, was when Shaun said there is something across the way that looks like that Murre at Wildwood. We immediately got on it an with the scope said "that's a Dovekie"!! And it was, giving us good looks as sunset and the dark cloudy sky took away our light. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy Horn, Shaun and Cindy Bamford.
