Higbee Beach Birding - Friday, September 16th, 2016

A quiet morning for migration, but the birds were there. We were able to see a number of White-eyed Vireos well and many of them were immature birds with a dark eye. The high point of the walk were two perched Common Nighthawks. Group 1 Leaders: David La Puma, Chris Marks, and Catherine Busch.
