8/30/08 CBA Field Trip

Twelve brave souls ventured into the wilds of the Blakeley Mud Lakes and later, Meaher State Park. The weather was sweaty but, surprisingly, not too buggy. (I don't recall any biting insects!) We started birding at the Mudlakes at 8:45 and were finished at Meaher Park by 11:30. Below are the birds from my list, feel free to add any seen during the field trip that aren't reported here.
