GSBAS Tuesday nature Walk Sunken Meadow SP 11/09/2021

 It was a beautiful fall morning for a walk. The air was crisp , warm and bright overlooking Long Island Sound. The wind was moderate out of the North. 

On the way to the boardwalk we had very good looks at a close up Raven

We saw a nice mix of birds from the boardwalk. There were Common Loons, Black, and White-winged Scoter. There was a small flock of Sanderlings scurrying along the beach.

On the edge of the woodlands we saw a small flock of Cedar Waxwings. The wetlands provided, Bufflehead, Mallard, and Black Ducks. Great Blue herons, and Yellowlegs and DC Cormorants were also there.

The highlight was seeing a Raven chasing and striking a Red-tailed hawk as they flew over our heads.

It was a great day, with some great sightings and great folks to enjoy it with.
