Hello all.
I spent about 3 hours at Lake Shore Athletic Complex (Pasadena area) this
morning. Highlights included 1 Veery found in an un-Veery-ish location, good
Vireo numbers and 7 warbler species including a really nice Canada Warbler.
Also, a good number of Chipping Sparrows were foraging in the athletic fields.
