Birding - Seneca Meadows Wetlands Preserve

Prairie Overlook

At 7:30 AM arrived at Seneca Meadows Wetlands Preserve. Lyn was already there. Shortly thereafter Sheila and Charlie drove in. Starting down Ada Trail we came upon a Killdeer.

A car pulled into the parking lot we recognized Dave and Joan along with their dog, Max. We retreated so they could join us. Back on the trail noticed a Blue Flag Iris plant in the pond.

There was also some Frog's Bit present.

Heading south we saw our first Bobolink.

On White-tail Run pond we viewed a Pied-billed Grebe on a nest.
