Not too active, but I did record 32 species. Highlights were an immature RED-HEADED WOODPECKER on the south side of the large impoundment, 4 Double=crested Cormorants & 4 FORSTER'S TERNS over the stargrass mats in the river, 181 Rough-winged Swallows on the wires, a Black-throated Blue Warbler, a Black-throated Green Warbler with enough hormones left to try to sing briefly, 6 Common Yellowthroats, and a Wilson's Warbler. Finally, birds that won't be here much longer- 2 Chukars trying to get run over on Sycamore Landing Rd.
