9:30 a.m. to Noon at Spring Valley:

- Purple Martins and Northern Rough-winged Swallows were mixed in with the
Tree Swallows this morning feeding over the pond.

- A few females have joined the male Red-winged Blackbirds.

- Yellow-rumped Warblers profuse, first I've seen at this location this
year.

- One skulking Rusty Blackbird.  Always a nice find.

-  36 Coot, 11 Blue-winged Teals, 1 drake Gadwall, 20 or so Wood Ducks,
geese, Mute Swans.

- First trip here in a couple months with no Black Vulture, only Turkey,
though found a few of those at roost on snags.

Bird well,

Paul
