Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, September 26th, 2015

Looking up was the most productive stance at the Rea Farm today. Northern Flickers and Sharp-shinned Hawks, Osprey, Red-tailed Hawk, Double-crested Cormorants, and lots of Tree Swallows could be seen with very little effort. Not so with other birds, however. It took pishing and screeching to bring out a flock of feeding migrants that included Northern Parula, American Redstart, Northern Waterthrush, and Black-and-white, Pine and Bay-breasted Warblers, plus a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and White-eyed Vireo.  Group 1 Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn.
