Walk lasted between 12:00 and 14:15

Another week, another record for the week! This time we observed 28 species when the record was 25. And we got some real good birds. There was a White-breasted Nuthatch in a tree just south of IPAC that was in full view for everyone to see. We also got an Oak Titmouse there. Walking up Wilson, there was a Cassin’s Kingbird that conveniently flew out and back from its perch, revealing a pale tip to the tail that confirmed it was a Cassin’s. Then, at the end, in the bushes at the turtle ponds, there was an immature, or maybe a female, Common Yellowthroat. And, we got 5 Yellow-rumped Warblers, the bird I had guaranteed would be there and it was there. So, just a great record-setting walk.
