Tweets - the weather this morning was iffy, and it got worse from there for
a while. By 9:00, it was raining hard for a brief time, but then it cleared
slowly throughout the rest of the morning. Last week, about which I failed
to post, it was very birdy but with few species. Today was less birdy, but
the list of birds was longer.

Highlights:

Cackling Goose Minimas, Taverner's, and one ???
Trumpeter Swan 7, flying east, silent. Can't rule out Tundra
Bald Eagle Pair with new nest appeared chased 3rd adult
Pileated Woodpecker 1 flew up the slough
G.-crowned Kinglet Including one huge flock near mansion - 40+
Western Meadowlark 4 posed nicely north of grass soccer fields

For the day, and coincidentally for the year :), 53 species.

Last week, highlights included a flock of Northern Pintail, the Bald Eagles
working on their new nest, a very noisy Pileated Woodpecker, a Northern
Shrike in the East Meadow, and Varied Thrush.
