**********************************************************************************
Made 3 trips into "my" local birding area today, two with friends.  Early
morning (pretty dead), around noon (picking up), 4:30P+ ( quite lively)

   Thrushes and other "mulberry birds"  still coming. Lots of the the
expected thrushes will all species noted except Gray-cheeked...Blue and
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, buntings, cuckoos and tanagers.  Still not many
warblers tho they were increasing slightly when I quit around 6:30..  When
I got back, we sat out on the deck and watched Orchard Orioles coming off
in bay. One male was trying to nectar off a blooming Cape-honeysuckle and
hibiscus only 6-8 feet in front of us
,oblivious to the fact we were there...He was tuckered.

My favorite was a male Prairie Warbler....don't get them here all that
often.
