Hi TWEETERS,

After a couple of 10 sec teases in the first hour plus, the Emperor Goose
(EMGO) finally came out in the open (~1:30pm), and spent more than half an
hour preening and fluffing before tucking its head in for a nap. We had
great views in the scope, considering the distance.

Afterward we headed over to Jackson Bottom. The 'oiseaux du jour' there
were ~10 Golden-crowned Sparrows (GCSP) and a Red-breasted Nuthatch (RBNU)
that were hanging out at the feeders outside the nature center.

16 FOY and one lifer is a pretty good day in my book.

Happy Birding!
