Long-billed Dowitcher, Red-necked Phalarope, Red Phalarope, Little Gull,
Lesser Black-backed Gull, Chimney Swift, White-eyed Vireo, Yellow-throated

Thanks again to all participants, and especially to our leaders who did
such a great job in locating birds on the field trips.
Good birding, and see you again next year.
