On a beautiful day, 24 birders spent the morning walking through the Palgrave Conservation Area, and the afternoon at Schomberg Sewage Lagoons and the Tottenham sod farms. No Buff-breasted Sandpiper but many interesting birds in our total of 69.
At Palgrave, early arrivals saw Wild Turkey. The entire group had good looks at Black-billed Cuckoo, Scarlet Tanager, Pileated Woodpecker, Osprey, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Baltimore Oriole, Great-crested Flycatcher, Indigo Bunting and many Red-eyed Vireos and Red-breasted Nuthatches.
At Schomberg, excellent observations were made of Bairds, Spotted, Semipalmated, Least and Pectoral sandpipers as well as large numbers of Lesser Yellowlegs.
The Tottenham sod fields produced good numbers of Horned Larks, Killdeer, Golden and Black-bellied plovers.
