Checklist: February trip to Barnegat Lighthouse SP

Penn Birding enjoyed an excursion to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park one freakishly warm day in mid-February. 

 We achieved our goals of seeing 2 species of loons, harlequin ducks, as well as other water and shorebirds. With the help of a friendly birder, we even saw an Ipswich Savannah Sparrow!
