Higbee Beach Birding - Friday, September 9th, 2016

Unlike last week's walk with many migrants engaging in morning flight, several days of south winds unfavorable to migration decreased the number of new migrants to be seen. Nonetheless, we had a very good walk as we searched for and found birds feeding in preparation for migration. Of note were several close juvenile White-eyed Vireos, a teed-up Brown Thrasher and Baltimore Oriole, and views of nine warbler species. We continued to have Bobolink in flocks overhead, typical for early September. Leaders: Brett Ewald, Kathy Horn, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, Mary Watkins, and Kirsten Fuller.
