We’ll check out the bluestem meadow, woodland, edges, pond, and the community gardens. Fall sightings in recent years have included bobolinks, dickcissels, numerous warbler species, a variety of flycatchers, a wide range of sparrows, bald eagles, and other raptors. And who knows what unexpected migrant might put in an appearance!
