Even though we started at 7:00 this morning, the birds were quiet by 8:30 so we didn't see a lot. Robins, western wood peewees, house wrens, goldfinches, a belted kingfisher, mallards and swallows were present and accounted for. We heard warbling vireos, yellow warblers, quail and Bewick's wrens. A downy woodpecker was busy pecking at a rose gall and an eastern kingbird was on the wire on the lake road. The best time to look for birds when it's hot is very early morning. They don't like the heat anymore than we do so they hunker down and try to keep cool when the temperature creeps up above 80.
