Beautiful evening in the Meadows with an enthusiastic group and excellent birds. As the walk started, we had a Merlin swoop over our heads, and while looking for a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, we found the Hudsonian Godwit. We also found an Eurasian Wigeon and a Parasitic Jaeger. The Black Swan was in the pond with some Mute Swans. We finished the walk with a beautiful sunset and a Common Nighthawk. A Harbor Seal scratching its head was a bonus find! Leader: Chuck Slugg.
