After 2 days off and a late start this morning due to weather, it was a surprisingly nice day - cool but no wind and the sun sort of came out to make things more comfortable! 38 new birds and a good variety of species. Exciting bird of the day was a Fox Sparrow - only the 5th in the 30 years of the station. BIG! Here's the breakdown:
Dusky Flycatcher 1
