Hornsby Field Trip Empids Class
Here’s an Empid (and friends) we had on field trip today. Maybe someone else can post the other flycatcher (which I neglected to get pix of).

I estimated 330 Wilson’s phalarope at Hornsby in this flock, about 100 in a 2nd flock yesterday. 12 shorebird species.
Plumbeous V gazes into distances ……..”thar be Empids out thar!!!”
I enjoyed Cin Ty Lee’s presentation on Empids at TOS!! He’s got some good material on his website: http://www.cintylee.org/#/guiding-services/ I also notice that Butter Butt’s are scarfing down crushed pecans in the street in several locations.
I’d like some comments on 1 of the 4 Ibis I had at Hornsby yesterday.
8 species of shorebird at Hornsby this morning, including 2 Dunlin.
Here’s a little jewel!!! Lance and I got them just in time for Empids class. By Cin-Ty Lee and Andrew Birch I’ve not had time to review it thoroughly, but the simplicity of presentation and Andrew Birch’s beautiful paintings already impress me!!
