Twilight Watch at The Meadows - Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015

Tonight's CMBO Twilight at the Meadows walk, the first of the fall season, was quite enjoyable.  The heat and humidity of the day was changing nicely into a warm but pleasant evening. We had great looks at Lesser Black-backed gulls and close up views of a Baird's Sandpiper. Leaders: Warren Cairo and Bill Smythe.
