Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, August 18th, 2014

A few shorebirds were around including both yellowlegs, Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers, Sanderlings, and American Oystercatchers. Over head were lots of swallows and Purple Martins as well as Osprey. Warblers seen were Common Yellowthroat, Yellow, and Prairie. Most interesting was an Alder Fylcatcher singing "fee-bee-o," but it could not be located. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, Catherine Busch, Mike Hannisian, and Dave Lord.
