Hi all,

We held our eleventh annual Glen Helen big day on Saturday, with sightings
limited to the 1000 acre nature preserve, and active birding from 5:30 am
to 6:00pm.  Even though there weren't large numbers of most species, we
ended up with strong overall diversity.

We finished with a near-record 101 species, just one off our record of
102.  Most unusual find was a Marsh wren, which found wetlands enhanced by
3 inches of rain this past week.  We had 24 species of warblers, but missed
a number of birds that we would have reasonably expected, especially
thrushes.


Kudos and gratitude to everyone who helped find the birds of Glen
Helen!  Pasting

Regards, Nick Boutis
