Hawks, Trails, and Beach - Saturday, October 10th, 2015

As we started the walk on this beautiful, fall afternoon, we saw a Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle, Turkey Vulture, and Osprey overhead. Behind the dune, there were Yellow-rumped Warblers everywhere. The Black Swan continues on Bunker Pond along with an Eurasian Wigeon and the usual plethora of Mute Swans. We ended the walk with a wonderful Northern Harrier. Leaders: Chuck Slugg and Mary Watkins.
