Field Trip Report: Green Point WMA 09/23/18

jstorm

Twelve birders led by Gordon Smith started the bird walk just as the sun burned off the thick morning fog at Green Point Farm WMA in Dresden, ME . It became a beautiful crisp fall day with abundant numbers of birds and a good diversity of species (37 on the checklist). Jack Collins led us (astray?) in identifying the many butterflies, and we, like the butterflies, also enjoyed the fall wildflowers. A walk at Green Point WMA is always a treat. Join us on the other two field trips there later in October.
