I came home at lunch today and just as was getting ready to turn into the 
driveway a flycatcher flew across the road in front of me and perched up on a 
snag. I watched it for a few minutes in my binoculars and it sat up and sang 
several times before flying away. This is my 2nd record for this species in the 
yard. I stopped in front of my yard as I was leaving to pick up some trash than 
someone had donated to me and heard a Lark Sparrow singing. I never saw the 
bird but it was singing from the field across the road from me. This is also my 
2nd time for this species.
 
Orchard Oriole and Blue Grosbeaks are singing almost constantly now 
and occasionally a Summer Tanager joins the chorus.
 
Good birding,
