Tweets - Mayvember (or maybe No-May-Brrr) continues, with the temperature
waffling on either side of 50 degrees, and a 10 mph wind, and fairly heavy
overcast. It wasn't a bad day really, except for it being so unseasonable.
Oh, and so mosquito-y. I only got bit once, but they certainly were
annoying. By the very end of the day, we'd gotten at least 1 look at most
of the species, but it was a day where the list wasn't too bad, but the
sighting opportunities were a bit slim. We missed Northern Flicker and
Cliff Swallow entirely, and three species were heard-only. Still, the 17 of
us had a pretty good morning.

Highlights:

Canada Goose At least 3 families on the lake
Wood Duck Two females with young ducklings
Green Heron Nesting at the Rowing Club
Cooper's Hawk Pair active near mansion, 2 others
R.-breasted Nuthatch Adult feeding fledged young
Swainson's Thrush Heard only, but lots of singing
Cedar Waxwing Ubiquitous
Western Tanager A couple of looks
Lazuli Bunting 1 male briefly seen near Compost Piles
Bullock's Oriole 2-3 males

I think all of the BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS we saw were males. Perhaps the
females are all on nests?

For the day, 58 species. Still no Blue-winged Teal, Spotted Sandpipers,
Black Swifts, nor Red-eyed Vireos.
