E-Z Birding - Tuesday, September 22nd, 2015

A windy and overcast day led us to focus on waterbirds and raptors with the highlights being a continuing Eurasian Wigeon, a late Green Heron hunting in a sheltered spot near the trail, Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks, Merlin and American Kestrel overhead, and a large flock of swirling Tree Swallows. Leaders: Catherine Busch, Chris Marks, Lynne & Marc Breslow, and Deb Payson.
