Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm – September 16, 2023

Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Bernie Hodgdon

Temp: 53°F

Winds: NW 4mph

Weather Conditions: sunny

Birds are on the move now and Palm Warblers were plentiful on this first- of-season walk at the Beanery. American Redstarts are still coming through in migration and we also saw Magnolia and Cape May Warblers and heard several Common Yellow-throats. Field and Chipping Sparrows, a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and House Wrens were nice additions.
