This was in Marathon and other locations within Brewster County.

Some highlights include:  Varied Bunting, Zone-tailed Hawks particularly
one food-carrying to nest, Violet-green Swallow,  Vermilion Flycatcher on
nest,  ... female Purple Martin was fun for out here, etc.

This time of year, it was an excellent study with various species of a
Hatch Year age.
More than one group listened to Varied Bunting singing from one shrub and
Painted Bunting singing from another. This provided an excellent in-field
audible comparison of quite similar songbirds.
