Beside the heat, not too many birds around PP this morning, but my surprise was seeing 3 species that I consider rare for PP in June: Swainson's Thrush -Vale-; Northern Parula -Rck's place ; Ruddy Duck -Lake.
A nice finding was an active nest of Orchard Oriole, in the edge of the Nethermead.
The list for today:
