Big Sit after notes

Somehow I missed being in the group photo during the Big Sit 😥, but here are those that are in it.

And here's me during the Sit. I was up on the viewing roof trying to see over into the big tank where an American Pipit was. I didn't see it so we couldn't count it in the sit tally. Birds have to be seen from within our 50 foot circle.

We agonized as to whether this second kingbird was a Tropical Kingbird, which would have given us an additional species for our tally, but the ebird reviewer said they're both Westerns.

Next are a few photos taken by Mike Gray of birds we were able to count in our tally. (Black & White Warbler, Elf Owl, and Peregrine Falcon)

Migration is just now getting into full swing. The next two weeks are going to be exciting!
