Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, August 15th, 2016

A couple of migrating warblers were seen including two Northern Waterthrush, American Redstart, Yellow Warbler and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Still no "Grasspipers" but we did have Semipalmated Plover, Killdeer, Semipalmated and Least Sandpiper, also Pectoral Sandpiper and one White-rumped Sandpiper. Several Lesser Black-backed Gulls were on the beach as well as American Oystercatchers and Sanderling. Over head we had four Broad-winged Hawks. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Pat Perkins, and Warren Cairo.
