Field Trip Reports: Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne

A beautiful birding day. Numbers and variety of ducks has diminished, but we still had Northern Shovelers, Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, and Bufflehead on the ponds, as well as Black and Surf Scoter off shore. A few Tree Swallows were over head. First of year for several people were Snowy Egret and Glossy Ibis. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, Warren Cairo, Pat Perkins, and Marc & Lynne Breslow.
