On Saturday, October 19, fifteen Club members traveled to the Eastern Shore to bird several sites there. The first stop was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Scenic Overlook, where the group viewed willets, sanderlings, three gull species, and brown pelicans, among others. We then met Matt Anthony at the Eastern Shore of Virginia NWR Visitors Center. Matt led us through the refuge, to Magotha Road for a possible Sedge Wren (seen later that afternoon by a few members on a return trip!), and finally to Kiptopeke State Park. In total, the group identified 53 species during the trip (plus the Sedge Wren and a few others seen apart from the main field trip). Again, the weather cooperated – the Club is 2 for 2 this fall!
