This will be rather short.
A LARK SPARROW was seen by many this morning. I heard that at least one photographer got it in the same shot as the CLAY-COLORED and WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW buddies first seen yesterday. Also saw a flock of six or more Chipping Sparrows, with which there were rumored to be one or more Field Sparrows hanging out, but alas, I only saw Chippies.
One or more Bobolinks were seen in the Meadow.
Here are the warblers I saw today: 1 Prairie, 2 Nashvilles, several Yellow-rumps. I also heard there was a Chestnut-sided and a Wilson's. Again, I was engaged in non-birding activities for a good part of the day, but still, birding out here is pretty darn slow right now! Will Russell was reduced to counting cardinals.
On a positive note, butterflies! If the number of Painted Ladies out here is any indication of the health of the species, it's doing extremely well. There have to be thousands here right now. Also saw my first-ever island Viceroy today, thanks to Bill Thompson.
