Hey tweets, it was another fantastico day at the Fill. The height for
me was spotting a pair of Eurasian Collared Doves flying out of the
little grove east of the greenhouses late this morning. They perched on
a wire on 37th Ave. NE for a time, just across the street from UBNA. If
I'm not mistaken, this is the first ever sighting of Eurasian Collared
Doves at the Fill. Also on view, Yellow Warblers arrived, the Northern
Rough-winged Swallows are still around, and the baby Killdeer at the
pond near the point has become a teenager, all gawky legs and attitude.
Sigh, it seems just days ago when he was a little baby. Oh wait, it was
just days ago. Killdeers are precocial, meaning they are born almost
mature enough to take care of themselves from the get-go. - Connie,
