A Swainson's Hawk over Bolivar Flats this afternoon indicated the west wind was
bringing some things to the coast. Broadwings and Mississippi Kites were
soaring over High Island and 100 Anhingas were looking at Claybottom Pond where
30+ pairs of NT Cormorants have started a fall nesting. There weren't many
passerines in the woods but there was a chickadee competeing with the
mosquitoes for space. Hummingbirds are using all available flowers and local
feeders. High tides have lots of shorebirds and skimmers on the beach
fortunately there aren't many people there.
