Tweets - it was a nice day for walking around today, with comfortable
temperature and no wind. It was birdy in dribs and drabs. Things
definitely feel like fall at the park, with things moving through that
weren't around a few weeks ago. Almost nothing is singing. Lots of
juvenile birds. Made for an interesting day. Brian and Matt were both off
chasing the Wilson's Plover (successfully), but we mostly managed without
them. There were a couple of empids that I really could have used ID help
on, however.

Highlights:

Green Heron Several sightings, at least 2 birds
Ring-billed(?) Gull One on lake - first gull since June
Vaux's Swift Only 1
Pac.-slope Flycatcher At least 1
Warbling Vireo At least 3
Violet-green Swallow 5, after a 2 week absence
Or.-crowned Warbler Two near start of boardwalk
Yellow Warbler At least 3
Y.-rumped Warbler At least 1 Audubon's
Wilson's Warbler At least 2
Western Tanager Many - maybe 10 or more
Bl.-headed Grosbeak Two
Evening Grosbeak Flyovers, and we saw 2 perched

For the day, 55 species, with maybe a couple more that we got away.
