Beanery, State Park Walk Results

CMBO Walk - Test Drive Optics at the Rea Farm (Beanery). Beautiful weather and lots of birds, many of which were First Of Year (FOY) for many in the group. We had fly over Common Loons and DC Cormorants, a Merlin, a Red-tail, Ospreys, and two Great Horned Owls in the scope! Also had Great, Snowy, and Cattle Egrets as well as a fly-over Green Heron. Passerines included Eastern Kingbird, Blue-headed and Red-eyed Vireos,and Yellow and Black and White Warblers. An Eastern Meadowlark sitting up in the sun in the scope was also a treat. Almost forgot the bright male Blue Grosbeak was also a hit with the crowd!
