Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, October 24th, 2016

Cool and windy with lots of Sharp-shinned Hawks over head as well as a couple of Merlin and a Peregrine Falcon. Nice variety of ducks including two Wood Ducks seen by some, one Eurasian Wigeon, and lots of Green-winged Teal. On the beach we had one Lesser Black-backed Gull and possibly another. Two shorebirds of note were a Semipalmated Sandpiper and one Long-billed Dowitcher. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Pat Perkins, Janet Crawford, & Carrie Bell.
