Hi, Corning Lake had what is most probably a Common Moorhen this morning. I could only see the silhouette, but chance certainly favors this species over something more exotic. Also Swamp Sparrows joined Song and Lincoln's for a melospiza sweep. My first Blue-gray Gnatcatcher of the season too. Brian Parsons re found the Sora yesterday. Nice to know it is sticking around. What I assume were Little-brown bats were also present in the vicinity of the bat house. My first sighting of bats this year. All fun stuff on an early morning walk.
