Higbee Beach Birding - Friday, April 21st, 2017

A very foggy morning, but birds were on the move! Willets were passing in large numbers and we watched a Palm Warbler arrive. White-throated Sparrows were everywhere as were the Eastern Towhees. A spectacular morning. Leaders: Brett Ewald, Chris Marks, Erin Rawls, & Mary Watkins.
