Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, October 10th, 2016

Cold and very windy from the North. Many raptors on the move with numerous Sharp-shinned Hawks as well as Cooper's Hawk, Northern Harriers, American Kestrels, Red-tailed Hawk, and two Bald Eagles. Also numerous Northern Flickers, and Yellow-rumped Warblers in the air and perched. We did see two Lesser Black-backed Gulls on the beach. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, Pat Perkins, Mary Watkins, Carrie Bell, and Marc & Lynne Breslow.
