LP249 eve,dividends
The area I cleared behind the lamppost 249 picnic tables paid off with good dividends, at least for me.I enjoyed along with 3 red starts and a Magnolia Warbler,a very cooperative close YELLOW-Bellied flycatcher using the edges of the opening for various perches.Sometimes the YBFC was quick but always most times in great views. Yellow all the way to the throat and olivy back...a gorgeous bird for an empidonax. ( plus I like boreal conifer birds)
Aaah, FEEL THAT COOL WIND , bye bye suffocating humidity and heat , :-)
Enjoy the birdy next few days (that's starting today )
