A somewhat busier day than yesterday, but not as busy as I expected - I thought with the rain gone and the sun out we'd see a lot more activity. But, it was cold and the foliage was still damp for the first couple of hours; most of the activity was in the second half of the morning. Here's the breakdown of the 26 new birds today:
Western Wood-Pewee 2
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Violet-green Swallow 1
House Wren 1
Swainson's Thrush 6
Yellow Warbler 5 new, 1 banded 2016
Lincoln's Sparrow 3
Bullock's Oriole 1
Lesser Goldfinch 1
American Goldfinch 4
Our last week! I've been informed that my comment yesterday about the weekend being sold out was mistaken - there are still a few slots available if you're looking for something happy and healthy to do this weekend! Go
