************************************************************************************************************* Birded all day virtually non-stop except to come home to hit the john and put out 2-3 pounds of oranges that the Baltimores went thru in no time flat...The back yard has dozens of BAORs etc. Wirded in part with Petra, Suzanne, Larry Mertz, John Maresh and Matt Stern...Sensory overload...After about 500+ catbirds and Baltimore Orioles I am caught up for the year. I don't as usual post a long list of bids because I am to lazy, but will get them into Ebird....I expect a lot of flags being raised there due to high numbers....Warblers were here in good diversity but not number...Everything else judt gripping out of the trees.....A lot of highlights but I am only going to post a few here followed by personal best for this location Cape May warbler 2 Lazuli Bunting 3-4 Bobolinks 80-100 Black-billed Cuckoo 1 Gray-cheeked Thrush 3 ( we had all the thrush , including a very late Hermit, in numbers well over 100) FOY Least Flycatcher Swainson's, Cerulean, Golden-winged and Blackpoll Warblers But the bestest bird of the entire day for me was a singing Lesser Goldfinch....An extremely rare find for Port O'Connor....What an amazing day..I am dizzy with birds in my head...Will tomorrow be as good?..who knows?
