Our walk took us through the Higbee fields, that are just starting to show their autumn tints. Though winds were unfavorable for a classic Higbee day, we nevertheless enjoyed a nice suite of birds, including our first kinglets of the fall, some obliging Indigo Buntings and tail-dipping Palm Warblers and Eastern Phoebes. Group 1 - Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, and Carrie Bell.
