Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, October 26th, 2015

There were a good variety of ducks, although Mallard and Green-winged Teal were the only ones in large numbers. We also had small numbers of Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, Ruddy Duck, American Wigeon, and one female Redhead were present. On the beach, we found two distant Lesser Black-backed Gulls and numerous Northern Gannets off shore. Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks were overhead, as well as a couple of Northern Harriers, and a Bald Eagle. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Janet Crawford, Carrie Bell, Pat Perkins, and Mary Watkins.
