Hi All
Birds required work this morning, but they were around. Nothing too
rare, but had an amazingly close encounter with an Osprey around the
back of the Lily Pond. Sitting about 7 or 8 yards up, it didn't seem
to care that I walked within 10 yards of it! A few Silhouette Warblers
seen flying overhead. Still wondering where all the Canada Geese went,
just the single bird seen at the feeding spot again.
Cheers
Adam

I went back to Prospect late afternoon for a quick walk around in the
face of an approaching thunderstorm - not much interesting except my
first Hairy Woodpecker (male) in many months, on the eastern side of
the Lullwater near the rustic arbor. Small group of warblers on
Lookout Hill. Many swifts and swallows feeding on some sort of insect
emergence near the Audubon Center.
