For most people our outing to Bombay Hook NWR would be just a gray and dreary day but for 15 Medford Leas Birders and guests it was \u201cparadise.\u201d There was a dearth of bugs in the wooded areas, it did not rain and we had an abundance of birds. We saw and\/or heard 69 species. Some of the highlight birds were Black-necked Stilt, American Avocet, Yellow-billed Cuckoo (heard), Barred Owl (heard), Blackburnian Warbler and Magnolia Warbler. We were also treated to some great looks at a couple of fox kits cavorting around their den.<\/p>

Participants<\/strong>: Joe Costanza, Peggy Fiabani, Dino Fiabani, Marie Gleason, Gil Goering, Robert Koch, Sandy Patton, Kay Smith, Marilyn Tillman, Louise Tompkins and Ro Wilson. Guests: Loretta Kamienieski, Maureen Sabo, Mike Zickler and Maryellen Zitzler.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
