 Twenty six birders  enjoyed "free range" of the 10,000 acre Half Moon Wildlife Management Area along with the cattle!  The 12 vehicles with the riding Birders traversed the area and rounded up 54 species of birds.
The highlight species are as follows:
 Barred Owl 
 American Bittern
 Swallow-tailed Kite
 Scrub Jays 
 Purple Martins  
 American Kestrel
 Common Ground Dove
 Wild Turkey  
 Limpkin
 3 Sparrow species, including Bachman, Field, and Chipping
 Woodpecker Grand Slam, including Red-headed
 5 Waders, including a Wood Stork high in a snag
5 Warbler species, including:Yellow-throated  3 Vireo species.                                                   

  Additional highlight was the half mile hike to the new Boardwalk over 
  Mill Creek. This hike gave us our close look of a swimming Water Moccasin   

A rather rare butterfly, Appalachian Brown, was also seen by 
 the group of 12.The Boardwalk is beautifully done and displays some 
 gorgeous scenery of the Wildlife Area.  
               Thanks to all that joined us and made the trip so productive and fun.
