Me, Rush, Komito
Initially the plan was to go to Ridgefield to try to see the Blue-Winged Teal that has been spotted there before, plus whatever other cool things happen to show up, Ridgefield never disappoints, however, Rush popped on OBOL before leaving and found that several of the teals have been seen at Jackson Bottom, and so it was, we went where the teals went.
