Tweets ? The weather was better than expected ? quite warm and mostly not raining. Variable overcast. But not very birdy.

Highlights:

- 10 species of duck -
Mew Gull First for 2017
Green Heron Again on beaver lodge at Dog Central
Sharp-shinned Hawk Large juvenile required a close look for ID
Barn Owl 1-2, windmill, East Meadow
Western Screech-Owl 1 heard south of East Meadow early
PEREGRINE FALCON Glimpsed several times, finally seen well
Northern Shrike North of Fields 7-8-9

We had great looks at GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS on the ground feeding around the mansion area. They let us get within arms reach. Also, one RUBY-CROWNED with them.

For the day, only 51 species (down 15 species from last week). For the year, we?re at 73 species.
