Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, November 23rd, 2015

A cold and breezy morning with a good variety of ducks on the ponds, including Gadwall, Mallard, Black Duck, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, and Ruddy Duck. Unusual were three Long-billed Dowitchers feeding along one of the islands in the pond. One leader (KL), lagging behind, saw the Brown Booby (reported headed south from the CMBO Seawatch) briefly before it disappeared. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Janet Crawford, and Mary Watkins.
