Not as many birds around today as yesterday. No flocks of Yellow-rumps or White-crowned Sparrows around. Swainson's Thrush and Ovenbird were the highlights of the day. Yes, I know Swainson's Thrush will not be a highlight later except for their numbers.

Tomorrow does not look favorable to be outside but the weather always changes. 

Hope it does rain, because it is needed greatly around here. 

If birding the ranch be sure to register at www.aikenaudubon.com before coming out.

The banding station will be open at sunrise until @ 11 AM weather dependent.

Enjoy the day,
