We met at Moodie & Fallowfield. Besides Jane & Connie, there were Nadine, Janet & me.
We stopped first at Burnside Pit where we saw an American Coot, a Green-winged Teal, a Spotted Sandpiper and several Pied-billed Grebes.
Our next stop was the Richmond Lagoons, where we saw many Tree Swallows, a Great-blue Heron, a Belted Kingfisher, groups of Cedar Waxwings and up to four Green Herons. There were several American Goldfinches, Wood Ducks, a Yellow Warbler and another warbler we could not identify.
We moved on to Jock Trail seeing a Northern Harrier along the way. There was a whole crowd of Cedar Waxwings perched in a dead tree. We heard a Great-crested Flycatcher and saw a Common Yellowthroat and a Gray Catbird.
From there we went to Munster Side Road to look for Bitterns – no luck, but we did spot an Eastern Phoebe, an Eastern Kingbird and an Alder Flycatcher. We had a fleeting glimpse of a Wilson’s Snipe, then heard and later saw a Swamp Sparrow. 
We toured the back roads around Munster looking for Upland Sandpipers, but were not successful. Janet did spot an Eastern Meadowlark.
