Bird Outing Report: Simpson Farm,Aug.13, 2015

Today 9 birders went to the Farm and found 22 species of birds. Highlights were a Red-tailed Hawk, a Coopers Hawk and a Merlin that were working the far fields where the farmer was harvesting. Additional highlights were a very cooperative Black-headed Grosbeak that gave everyone excellent views and an overflight of about 500 Canada Geese!
