I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!

Got bird # 148 at the Dacha today: Bullocks Oriole — no pix.
Birdcast. I should say that just because conditions are good for migration, doesn’t mean we see them on the ground. But it’s a good time to look.
It was a pleasure to see multiple wobblers and some sidekicks today at Mills Pond with Virginia. Nice warm up for High Island!!
Here’s a couple of very nice pix by Dennis Palafox taken at the coast recently.
