Gene Keefe, Mary Floyd, Harry Glasgow and Kurt Gaskill led the Monday Morning
Birdwalk at Huntley Meadows Park this morning, October 13, 2003. The fifteen
observers were treated to a perfect day -- temperatures were in the high 60s,
with clear sunny skies, and no wind this morning from 0700 - 0900. The best
birds were two Bald Eagles, and an American Pipet spotted by Kurt Gaskill. The
highlight of the day was the visitors from Fremont, Nebraska and Seattle,
Washington.
