Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, October 13th, 2014

A cool, cloudy day with some rain. A nice variety of ducks were seen including Blue- and Green-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail, an American and an Eurasian Wigeon, and a Ruddy Duck. It seemed like there was always a Sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawk overhead along with numerous Yellow-rumped Warblers. A few shorebirds were also present. Fly-over Eastern Meadowlarks were seen several times. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, and Catherine Busch.
