Tweets - we had about 15 people under heavy overcast skies this morning,
starting at 5:30. It was pretty birdy, which made it fun. It was very
mosquito-y, from the south end of the dog area all the way to the East
Meadow, which made it less fun.

Highlights:

Green Heron One flew east across dog meadow
Spotted Sandpiper 2 flew down slough, 1 on dock at lake
Willow Flycatcher 1 in East Meadow, singing
Western Kingbird 1 seen over towards the model airfield
Lazuli Bunting 2-3 at Compost Piles
Bullock's Oriole 3-6 seen, including multiple males, at least 1
female
Evening Grosbeak Several fly-overs of small flocks

Lots and lots of WARBLING VIREOS and WILSON'S WARBLER, a few YELLOW WARBLER
mostly heard, only 1 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, a couple of silent
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, and decent numbers of COMMON YELLOWTHROATS.

There was one probable female LAZULI BUNTING just east of the weir, early.
Later, at the Compost Piles, there were at least 1 male buntings. Neither
had well-developed blue, but more than enough to be sure of the gender. At
least one sang. They were moving around a lot, and were seen in the trees,
on the ground, on blackberries, and all the way over towards the model
airplane field. Once, Marv Breece spotted one WAY over to the east, and as
I listened to his directions on how to find the little guy, my eye stopped
on a different bird. It was the WESTERN KINGBIRD, which soon flushed and
flew off to the northeast.

For the day, we ended up with 66 species.
