Higbee Beach Birding - Friday, September 11th, 2015

The birds of the day were Bobolinks, easily identified by their flight calls as they poured across the sky. At one point, they appeared like a rainbow spreading across Higbee's fields. As the birds settled down to feed and rest for the day, the group was excited to find two Nashville Warblers among the numerous American Redstarts. Leaders: David LaPuma, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, Deb Payson, Carrie Bell, Michael McCabe, Margeaux Maerz, Tara Camp, and Erin Rawls.
