Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, August 22nd, 2015

A beautiful morning with a cool breeze, but rather quiet bird wise. We did manage to get good looks at a singing Blue Grosbeak and Great Crested Flycatcher. Overhead were a number of Osprey, several with large fish, as well as a couple of Red-tailed Hawks, two Broad-winged Hawks, and a Cooper's Hawk. One of the wet spots from the previous rain had three Solitary Sandpipers. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Deb Payson, and Michael McCabe.
