I had a new species for me at Manitou Lake this morning – Yellow-breasted Chat. That brings my total at this lake near my home, over 27 years of birding, to 174 species. 69 species so far this year. Most seen in any one given year at 107 species.
Also of interest and present today:
· MacGillivray’s Warbler below the dam. FOS
· A couple Yellow-headed Blackbirds are still hanging out.
Complete list form this morning (39 species) below.
