Tweets - there were at least 17 of us this morning, on a beautiful day that
dawned chilly, but managed to warm up slowly with lots of sun. It was very
birdy, but the diversity wasn't that high. What we did have was huge
numbers of a few species.

Highlights:

Merlin In a snag over the mansion, right at 6:00
R.-breasted Sapsucker Apparent nest exchange just south of dog gate
Warbling Vireo At least 30 - all over
W. WOOD-PEWEE 2+ in Big Cottonwood Forest
Brown Creeper Adults feeding 1 or more fledged young
Swainson's Thrush Only 2-3
CEDAR WAXWING First of 2007 - a dozen over East Meadow
Or.-crowned Warbler 20+; nearly as common as WAVI, WIWA
Y.-rumped Warbler Only a few, and only 1 singing
Yellow Warbler Male at Rowing Club
Wilson's Warbler At least 30; all seen were males
Western Tanager A handful, both females and WOW males
Bl.-headed Grosbeak Great looks, males and a female
EVENING GROSBEAK 10 flew over Dog Meadow
American Goldfinch Lots and lots and lots

For the day, 62 species. Western Wood-Pewee, Cedar Waxwing, and Evening
Grosbeak were new for 2007. Brian Bell had a Yellow Warbler last Friday, so
the year list is up to 123 species.
