Eagle Marsh


​Although the heat index was pushing 100 F, nine intrepid birders showed up for Stockbride Audubon’s first field trip of the fall season.  The party soon started leaking people, however.  Those who continued for two hours found 40 species.  Cynthia and I were the first to leak, so this list was compiled by Andrew Wolfe.
