Tweets - Another cold, cloudy, breezy, morning. I was hoping for weather
like yesterday's, but we got more Junuary. Everybody was wearing sweaters
AND coats, and there was a lot of wishing for gloves and talk of hot
chocolate.

This isn't the most exciting June we've ever had, though the usual breeding
birds are in evidence (with the notable exception of Pied-billed Grebe,
completely uncharacteristically absent since April).

The biggest excitement today was an extremely close encounter with 2
LONG-TAILED WEASELS at Dog Central that came up to with 10 feet of us. They
were busy chasing each other around, paid us no mind at all, and forgot to
worry about dogs until almost too late.

Bird highlights:

Green Heron Rowing Club nest has 4 babies
Cooper's Hawk Female on nest, male harrassed by crows
Caspian Tern One on lake
Band-tailed Pigeon Large flock
Barn Owl Matt had 2-3 early
Belted Kingfisher 3-5, including some young we think
Downy Woodpecker Male feeding fledgling
Y.-rumped Warbler 2 northeast of mansion
LAZULI BUNTING Male singing north of fields 7-8-9

For the day, 58 species.
