Higbee Beach Birding - Friday, April 14th, 2017

The first Higbee Beach walk of the season was filled with new arrivals of White-eyed Vireos and Prairie Warblers singing. We had great views of both a male and female American Kestrel. A Great Horned Owl answered our leader’s hoots to the delight of the group. Leaders: David La Puma, Chris Marks, & Catherine Busch.
