Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, September 6th, 2014

Red-eyed Vireos took the migrant high-count spot on today’s walk at the Beanery. In between Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Wood Duck, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Baltimore Oriole, Indigo Bunting and all the others, we kept seeing Red-eyed Vireos. It’s a species to filter through when you’re looking for migrant warblers and now is the time to learn their look, their chatter and their flight. Larger and slower moving than most warblers, Red-eyed Vireo migration peaks in September as they travel to their wintering grounds in South America.  Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Karl Lukens, Deb Payson, and Warren Cairo.
