Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, June 22nd, 2015

We had beautiful weather and some good birds. From the parking lot, we had good views of Orchard Oriole and Yellow-breasted Chat. Other nice birds were Common Yellowthroat, Willets, American Oystercatchers, a continuing American Wigeon, a Lesser Black-backed Gull, and a few got to see two distant Mississippi Kites. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Janet Crawford, and Pat Perkins.
