Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, November 18th, 2017

A murmuration of hundreds of starlings kept us enthralled as we walked the back fields of the Beanery. The property has a lot of great habitat for sparrows, as evidenced by the eight species we saw throughout the walk, with the highlight being three Clay-colored Sparrows moving between the field and hedgerow and providing great, long looks. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, and Karl Lukens.
