Bird list (hilights in blue)
Hi Peter,
16 birders enjoyed a chilly fall day at Plum Beach and Dead Horse/FBF. Highlights included FOS Long-tailed Duck, American Golden-Plover, Seaside and Nelson's Sparrows, and large flock of cooperative Bluebirds at FBF. Lists below.
Thanks to all for the good spirits and sharp eyes and ears out there for making my first time leading a field trip so enjoyable!
Special thanks to our registrar Dennis for dealing with all the last minute changes and getting people in from the waiting list, we had 0 vacancies! Also thanks to Bob, Paul and Alice for driving, Mike for doing lists, and Paul again for the beautiful photos (going to Peter in separate email).
see you all in the field,
Bobbi
