Tweets - finally, a gorgeous, summer day. It actually felt like July, with
not a cloud in the sky, and temps in the 70's. There was a touch of morning
fog,, especially over the East Meadow before we started, but nothing that
interfered with our regular walk. Oh - and the water levels have dropped
to several inches below the 4 foot level, so there was no need for rubber
boots! It was a fairly birdy, too.

Top highlight - the LEAST FLYCATCHER was singing away at Dog Central, in the
exact same spot it was both 2 and 3 Thursdays ago. Who knows why nobody was
able to find it for so long in between.

Other highlights:

Green Heron 3 seen, all juveniles
Osprey Young on the nest
COOPER'S HAWK In snag row, being MOBBED by crows
Caspian Tern 5-6, all flying north
W. Screech-Owl Scott heard it early
R.-br. Sapsucker 2 near mansion
Hairy Woodpecker 2 east of boardwalk
Y.-rumped Warbler 1+ singing near mansion
Wilson's Warbler Male singing along boardwalk
Bullock's Oriole Male feeding 1 or more young

Juveniles were the order of the day - we had young from about 20 species
this morning. It IS that time of year.

For the day, 58 species.
