Happy greetings in spite of south winds Sunday night – Monday. We still added a species to our season totals, had more Cape May’s and even another Blackburnian Warbler. The season’s first Northern Harrier flew by at lunch time and another Peregrine flew by at dinner. We should spend more time in Commons! We see birds from there! We enjoyed both Night-Herons, Snowy Egrets, and a Great Blue Heron so our species list for the day was a season high (40). Lindsay got this fall’s 0’s entered onto Sara’s flash drive. David found his left side hearing aid!! and got a season of narratives collected and printed. Sally continues to learn extraction and ID’s and takes some pretty neat pictures. Accomplishments abound! May you also feel so fortunate! David, Lindsay, & Sally send you warm and positive Island satisfactions.
