Platte Lane
Walked Platte Lane area of Hornsby this morning. Pretty slow, but we were jawing.
Did get Least and Yellow-bellied flycatchers, which was a pleasure to ID confidently!! Didn’t try for pix.
Anybody else out birding?

And so it goes — Grackles are next. They’re actually fun on the Bolivar Peninsula!! (you’re on you own for females (ask the males)).
Had clay colored sparrow and black chin hummer for first time this spring at the dacha. Fos white eyed vireo this week. Still have 4 species of winter sparrows, su skins and spot towhee.
And a few other birds from this morn.
8 species of shorebird at Hornsby this morning, including 2 Dunlin.
Favorite Photos Here are a few I liked. I was pleased to find a Little Gull to get my gull-fix in !! Little Gull Friends !! I really enjoy the 2 groups of birders that Eric and I bird with on this annual trip!! Shorebirds Warblers and woodland passerines are only part of the fun…
Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
