9/2pm - 9/3am
Swainson's Thrush 35
Yellow Warbler 2
9/3pm - 9/4am
Swainson's Thrush - at least 325 (2-4 birds per minute from 11pm to 1am and
then pulses of 5-10 birds every ten minutes or so after that)

I've been listening for Evening Grosbeaks each morning. On September 2,
there was one that flew over. On Wednesday, a group of 4 and tody, a flock
of 17 flying south. There have been several Western Tanagers around each
morning along with miscellaneous Yellow Warbllers and a single
Orange-crowned Warbler.
Keep your eyes skyward.
