Still some great birding at Lafitte's this afternoon but a bit slower than
yesterday, likely due to a lack of newly arriving migrants. I have a
feeling the cloudy and cool conditions also kept many migrants tucked away
in the denser vegetation and out of site.
I got a brief look today at the Swainson's Warbler I found yesterday but no
one that I am aware of turned up any Cerulean Warblers. I believe the
Calliope Hummingbird was reported during the morning hours but I'm not sure
who found it.
Highlights that I am aware of are listed below.
Broad Winged Hawk
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Swainson's Hawk
Sora - at least a couple of birds
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - several
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Continued good movement of swallows
