Notes: Weather was warm (65? by 06:30) and sunny with quite a bit of
wind coming from the east (more or less).

We had two recaptured SWAINSON'S THRUSHES one of which was banded, as
an adult, on Mar 22, 1999. That makes it at least 7 years old! Also
recpatured a SONG SPARROW from 2001 which would be at least 5 years
old.

Captured a juv male RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD. CEDAR WAXINGS have turned up
for the twinberry feast (and were also taking advantage of a CARPENTER
ANT flight).

We heard and saw lots of WESTERN TANAGERS, but none came near the net.

Also a strong PAINTED LADY pulse with a few WEST COAST LADIES mixed in.
