Went out this morning to look for "storm" birds, but found nothing unusual 
here.  Still enjoyed it (so far!).  I was out at the river from ~ 7:30 to 
8:45, and then spent the rest of the time at home, sporadically looking 
outside every so often and wishing I was still out.  I'm on Dad duty today 
and may take the kids out later, but for now its porch and window watching.

Observations:  Some kind of insect hatch was on, because a large mixed 
flock of swallows fed on them for about 15 minutes while I watched.  I 
couldn't find anything unusual in them, although I later found a Purple 
Martin by hunting over the river by itself.

I heard Soras (several) for the first time this season, and saw 3 black 
terns which are also new for the season.

I had a Solitary Sandpiper from the yard at a puddle out in the field, but 
it had no company.

I saw no warblers - not one!

I saw an E-t Blue, 5 Monarchs, and many (~15 Tiger Swallowtails) at our b-
fly bushes.
