a mid-month update

[Rob Woodward]

I talked to Pam Hunt recently about the dearth of ducks around here.  She has noticed the same elsewhere in the state.  We blame it on good weather.

But good weather should bring lots of half-hardies like catbird (only 1), sapsucker (only 1), towhee (none), thrasher (none), phoebe (none).  Apart from a late Palm and Yellow-rumped Warbler, no late lingering warblers.

But Team Belknap remains supremely confident.  Some are already planning parades and ordering up champagne, which I of course discourage.  We still have 2 long weeks to  go.
