I had a little time between appointments and work so I hit a couple of
local hotspots to see what flew in.   Nothing "spectacular"...except 300
Cormorants. There were some shorebirds out in the East pond, but they were
too far off to ID.

Still on the hunt for Orange-crowned Warblers...so if they pop up, please
let me know by posting to ebird, or here, or email directly...I'll get it
one way or another. :-D

Lists below,

Happy Birding, and God Bless
