This was the day for babies – young fledglings everywhere – house wrens, yellow warblers, Bullock's orioles, black-headed grosbeaks, robins, rough-winged swallows, bank swallows. We also had more shorebirds today – seven western sandpipers and three least sandpipers, a greater yellowlegs and a long-billed dowitcher. A Caspian tern was circling the lake when we arrived at the parking lot. We had high counts of house wrens (26), yellow warblers (36) and robins (36) and a total of 49 species for the day. The best part of our morning walk was the fact that it was cloudy and cool! It's been an unusual summer with no scorching hot mornings so far, and I would be happy if it stayed that way. Ginger
