Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, August 26th, 2017

Large expanses of jewel weed are attracting Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at the Beanery these days, as the blossoms are just starting to open. Cedar Waxwing flocks now include streaky-breasted young birds and the Baltimore Orioles were hard to miss as they gleamed orange in the morning light. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Kyle Chelius, Karl Lukens, Michael McCabe, & Barb Bassett.
