Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, October 28th, 2017

No doubt about it, the highlight of this morning's walk was the flock of Eastern Meadowlarks that landed in a nearly shrub, calling, before they flew off. The close Orange-crowned Warbler was a treat also but couldn't outshine those meadowlarks!  Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Deb Payson, Kyle Chelius, and Karl Lukens.
