It was a very windy evening at The Meadows but we had some really nice birds. We started with good looks at a Sora and a Stilt Sandpiper, then as we crossed the dune we had a Peregrine Falcon come in and hold his position into the wind directly over us. Many photos were taken. We had a close in Parasitic Jaeger and a few people got to see it through the scope too. The non-bird highlight tonight was that we finished before it started to rain. Leader: Warren Cairo.
