I wanted to make a trip out to Sandy Point this afternoon, but the
park was closed due to no electricity.  I tried to find a ranger to
let them know that my birding needn't the use of anything electrical,
but they were no where to be found.

So, I'll tell you about the only three interesting things I've noticed
in the last two days.

1 Yellow-Billed Cuckoo in the tree above my house both yesterday and
this afternoon.
1 Green Heron flushed out of the tree tops and down the street (a
nearby neighbor's pond originally, I suspect) yesterday afternoon...
being chased by two Crows (Fish).
3 Blackpoll Warblers in the trees out front for the past three days.
Well, today I only had time to locate one... but they've remained here
during the rains, which I've rather enjoyed.
1 Great-Crested Flycatcher has returned to our neighborhood.
1 fledged Common Grackle.  Two parents feeding it a hot dog from the
street.  Oh, the joys of suburban living.
1 dead Mockingbird (hit by a car) and it's mate above it perched on a
nearby tree limb.
Lots of Yellow-Rumps, two Yellows Warblers, two Northern Parulas and
an American Redstart.

Aside from that, I'm just waiting for the new pond in my back yard to
attract some shorebirds.

Good Birding,
