Higbee Beach Birding - Friday, October 10th, 2014

Today was Higbee Beach how only Higbee Beach can be; Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers flooded overhead, Swamp and White-throated Sparrows were moving through the fields and Brown Thrashers and Eastern Towhees called from the hedgerows. Warbler variety is tailing off now, but American Redstart, Black-throated Green, Black-throated Blue and Tennessee were among the species we enjoyed. October has arrived!
Group 1 Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, and Mary Watkins.
