There are still birds moving on the lake.  Since the winds were bringing too
many songbird migrants I decided to watch the lake a bit while watching the
few songbirds moving.  The best bird was a 1st/2nd year GLAUCOUS GULL.
Other than that, the rest of the birds seen were the expected species.

Dominant songbirds moving were American goldfinches and blue jays.  I was
getting 50-100 goldfinches at my feeders throughout the day.  Also of
interest at the feeders was a female Cape May warbler.  It was seen several
times feeding on cracked corn.  I now have about 15 Baltimore and at least 3
orchard orioles and about 6 purple finches.
