Tweets - another gorgeous day. The early morning ground fog burned off
quickly. It got a bit too hot, but not outrageous. It was pretty birdy,
though at times the birds seemed to be taking an incredible delight in
tantalizing us in a very cussed way. We ended up with a good species count,
including 5 species of woodpecker, but 3 of those woodpeckers were
heard-only :(

Highlights:

NORTHERN HARRIER Flyby
Virginia Rail Heard from the lake platform
Spotted Sandpiper Flying fairly high up the slough
Red-breasted Sapsucker Immature flew past us early on
Warbling Vireo Adult feeding juvie cowbird
Red-eyed Vireo LOTS of singing at the south end of the park
Purple Martin One HIGH over mansion area
N. R.-winged Swallow One over East Meadow
Bushtits Bringing food to a nest at Dog Central -
late?
Orange-crowned Warbler Flock of 6+ at south end of Dog Meadow
Yellow Warbler Male singing, several others seen
Wilson's Warbler 1-2 at the south end of the Dog Meadow
Evening Grosbeak Heard and glimpsed

Had a juvenile COOPER'S HAWK who thought chasing after crows was the way to
get ahead. Good luck!

Had what appeared to be a LONG-TAILED WEASEL swimming across the slough ???

For the day, 64 species.
