Things were slower today than yesterday.  A lot fewer birds moving on the
lake and fewer songbirds around.  The best bird was a red-necked grebe.
this was different from the one yesterday as this was in breeding plumage.

A lot fewer songbird variety, but tons of migrating goldfinches and siskins.
There were a number of migrating blue jays also.  There were a few new yard
birds including house wren Baltimore oriole, ovenbird veery and wood thrush.
I still have a single tree sparrow and fox sparrow coming to my feeders.
