Eleven members of the Eaton Birding Society went to Seneca Meadows Wetlands Preserve today. BOBOLINKS and SAVANNAH SPARROWS ruled the day, seeming to call from everywhere. Fewer in number, but just as vocal, EASTERN MEADOWLARKS added their voices to the morning concert. At the marshes to the south end of the property we had AMERICAN BITTERN and LEAST BITTERN flying over and COMMON MOORHEN calling from the cattails. PIED-BILLED GREBES were firmly entrenched in every marsh on the property. A family of WOOD DUCKS were observed on the south pond. A very pleasant day. Lyn Jacobs
