Tweeters,
Breeze from the north, pleasant, but overcast today at Turning Basin #3.
The power tower at Hamm Creek had a PEREGRINE FALCON on top, and an
OSPREY about half-way down on one of the crossbars.

After not having seen any warblers here at TB3, and having seen a
Wilson's yesterday, today I spotted a COMMON YELLOWTHROAT across the
basin foraging in the shrubs/cattails. I zoomed up on scope to be sure,
and there was no doubt about it.

Birds seen during this scan include the following:
Mallard (2)
Osprey
Peregrine Falcon
Glaucous-winged Gull (3)
Rock Pigeon (41)
Belted Kingfisher (female)
American Crow (6)
European Starling (4)
Common Yellowthroat
Song Sparrow
American Goldfinch
House Sparrow

May all your birds be identified,
