Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, October 12th, 2015

A clear chilly morning with lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers in the bushes and in the air with the numerous Tree Swallows. We also had a nice variety of ducks, predominantly Mallards, and American Wigeon, Gadwall, both Teals, several Pintails, a couple Ruddy Ducks, and a female Redhead. A juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron was unusual for the Meadows. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Carrie Bell, Deb Payson, Mary Watkins, Pat Perkins, and Scott Whittle.
