Sept. 1, 2015 Fall Tuesday kickoff

We stared our fall season of Tuesday Nature Walks today at Heckscher State Park. The temperature was getting warmer as the day progressed. The first attempt at birding was thwarted by a a horde of mosquitoes. As we moved out of the wind into the wetter area the mosquitoes were fierce. We regrouped at the water front where there was a breeze and were much more comfortable.

We saw several lingering Ospreys, a few Eastern Kingbirds, some Mockingbirds  and a Downy Woodpecker. There was a Killdeer on the road median and a Spotted Sandpiper at the bayside watre edge.

A nice start to our fall season. Come join us.
