I had a fun walk around Schoolhouse Pond this morning, finally having some
sunny, clear weather.  Highlights were a flyover adult Little Blue Heron, 3
flyover Caspian Terns, and 16 flyover breeding plumage Common Loons (a lone
Loon and then a group of 15).  Other birds were 8 Cormorants, a female Red
Breasted Merganser, 5 Gadwall, 2 Wood Ducks, 3 Blue Gray Gnatcatchers, an
Eastern Towhee, 2 Osprey, and 4 Northern Rough-winged Swallows.
