Bombay Hook, Nov. 8, 2008

Trip Leader:  Hugh Simmons
On November 8 we visited Bombay Hook once again during the fall waterfowl season. For the first time in many years we almost got rained out. Intermittent downpours had us occaisionally running to our cars and limited the amount of hiking we could do on the trails. I am sure it decreased the passerine activity as well. But inspite of this Bombay Hook did not dissapoint. We logged forty-three species including: the requisite huge flocks of Snow Geese. Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, a low flyover by a Bald Eagle, a number of Harriers including a male "grey ghost", Black-bellied Plover, Avocet, Marbled Godwit, a Great Horned Owl perched in a tree and an American Pipit. Thanks to all who braved the weather forecasts and came out for a successful day.
