Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, August 4th, 2014

We had excellent views of perched and singing Indigo Bunting as well as Eastern Kingbird. On the beach we had Lesser Black-backed Gull, several families of American Oystercatchers, and many Sanderlings. Tree Swallows were numerous both perched and overhead. The bird of the day was an immature White Ibis trailing a group of 22 fly-over Glossy Ibis. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Mike Hannisian, Janet Crawford, Catherine Busch, Carrie Bell, Deb Payson, and David Lord.
