Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, October 13th, 2018


There was a fabulous mix of species at the Beanery this morning, including a good variety of warblers and sparrows. Both kinglets are in. Red-breasted Nuthatches and Purple Finches, species we sometimes see very few of in the fall, are present in good numbers as predicted by Ron Pittaway in his annual report based on their northern feeding supply. The real highlight of the walk though was the Yellow-billed Cuckoos that kept flying across the fields; that was a rare treat!
