Karl & Judy Lukens report the following from this morning's walk at The Meadows:

"Green Herons were the bird of the day on the CMBO Morning Walk at the Meadows with Pete Dunne. At least 8 different birds with 3 together flying over, and 1 sitting in a cedar. Also 12 Royal terns and 4 Oystercatchers on the beach. The Willow Flycatcher sat up for a brief scope look. A Lesser Yellowlegs with no foot, was present on the east side; the same bird we saw last fall and this spring?? The first of the fall migrants??"
