Tweets ? weather was pretty similar to last week, with mist and mizzle, and with light rain starting about 10:00 a.m. It was a bit birdier perhaps, but not much. Definitely a lot of baby birds.

Highlights:
a.. Common Nighthawk ? Matt heard one about 4:00 a.m. ? FOY
b.. Black Swift ? 2 or 3 over NE corner of lake
c.. Great Blue Herons ? babies are very large, many look about to fledge
d.. Bald Eagle ? we didn?t have a scope, but the nest looks to have 2 babies
e.. Barn Owl ? Matt had what looked to be an adult and a juvie over East Meadow, early
f.. Hairy Woodpecker ? one near Lake Platform ? first since early May
g.. American Crow ? babies abound
h.. Tree Swallow ? 1-2 fledged young seen
i.. House Finch ? adult feeding young in Pea Patch
j.. White-crowned Sparrow ? adult feeding young in Pea Patch
k.. Red-winged Blackbird ? several fledged young
We had an unusual mammal sighting ? a myotis bad was flying low over the slough, actively feeding, for many minutes around 6:30 a.m.

For the day, we had 61 species, with Common Nighthawk new for the year.
