Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, June 29th, 2015

It was a beautiful day with some good looks at several birds, including three female type and one adult male Orchard Oriole and a singing Blue Grosbeak. The continuing drake American Wigeon was scoped, an unusual bird at this time of year, as was the male Black Scoter. Among the American Oystercatchers were at least two fledglings. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Janet Crawford, Carrie Bell, Mary Watkins, and Pat Perkins.
