Notes: We had high diversity today, but low volume. I heard several
MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLERS early in the morning, but we caught none. We
did catch a likely celata-type (eastern) ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. We
don't catch this form every season, but they do occur regularly. An

A group of 6 or 8 TURKEY VULTURES spent the morning sunning themselves
in the trees just across the creek.

Half-a-bee, philosophically must ipso-facto half not-be.
But half the bee, has got to bee Vis-a-vis its entity...
d'you see?
But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee due to some ancient injury?
-Monty Python
