Nice morning for John and me at Santa Ana NWR, as we did our May survey of
points for our study. We ended up covering probably about half the trail
network between the two of us.
Migration is really winding down, except for flycatchers, but breeding bird
are quite active.

Regards and good birding,
Tim (and John) Brush
