Had a great day birding around Elver Park and the bike trail just north of there this afternoon despite the occasional sprinkles. Looks like a lot of stuff came in last night with the storm. YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS, NORTHERN FLICKERS and GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS were everywhere. I also had a dozen FOY species, including a few HERMIT THRUSHES, an EASTERN TOWHEE, a BONAPARTE'S GULL, a PILEATED WOODPECKER, several EASTERN PHOEBES, several RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, a pair of EASTERN BLUEBIRDS, a single YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, a few singing EASTERN MEADOWLARKS, and a lone BARN SWALLOW. I also had my first of year butterfly, what I believe was a mourning cloak. A full ebird list is below.
