Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, April 13th 2015

We had a good variety of water fowl including Black and Surf Scoters, Red-throated and Common Loons, Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal, and a lingering Tundra Swan. Over head, there were Tree and a few Barn Swallows, and several Martins. The Northern Gannet show was really good; they were close and numerous! Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Janet Crawford, Carrie Bell, and Hugh Simmons.
