Hello all!
It has been a pretty good last couple of days here at the EWBC! We got a pretty
good amount of birds after last weeks cold front. There was so much activity, I
didn't know where to look first! I was wishing I somehow had the ability to
look everywhere all at once! Species such as Blue Grosbeak, Rose-breasted
Grosbeak, Scarlet and Summer Tanagers, Indigo and Painted Buntings, Lincoln's
and Clay-colored Sparrows, and others were spotted on the grounds! We even had
about 160, perhaps more, Fulvous Whistling Ducks at our North Pond! It has been
incredibly fun being able to see all these birds, I hope they are able to
finish their journey safely, especially all those species that had to make a
desperate stop at SPI.

still been spotted yesterday and today:
