Midweek at the Meadows - Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

Ducks were the usual suspects including Ring-necked, both teal, and Bufflehead. We had fair looks at several Wilson's Snipe and good views of American Oystercatchers, and a singing Field Sparrow. Overhead we had both vultures and a pair of adult Bald Eagles. Leaders: Don Freiday, Karl Lukens, Chris Marks, Mary Watkins, Catherine Busch, and Warren Cairo.
