Hi Tweets

Michael is still away so I got to sub for him this morning.

The day dawned(?) dark and overcast. It stayed that way and we got a little misty rain later. In spite of that it was a pretty good day for the doldrums of July with many birds singing (although often from cover).

Notable species:
Barn Owl
Green Heron
Black Swift
Vaux's Swift
Black-headed Grosbeak with young
Bullock's Oriole juvenile
Willow Flycatchers - many singing
Common Yellowthroats - lots singing
Bald Eagle
Osprey
Marsh Wren - many singing
Swainson's Thrush - lots singing
