27 August 2015 Intermittent light rain, warm I am taking the day off from birding, so I only did a quick walk at the Arsenal this morning. Birds of note:
Prairie Trail - Lark Bunting, Lazuli Bunting, large flocks of Clay-colored Sparrows, several other sparrow species. Havana Ponds - Lesser Yellowlegs, many Killdeer, American Avocet, Rock Wren Rod & Gun Club Trail - Here was where I had the Cassin's Vireo. I found it when a Brown Thrasher flew into a bushy tree area and I followed it but was distracted by the motion of the vireo. I had originally stopped at that particular spot because of the sounds of all the Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and Eastern Kingbirds. There were also Western Kingbirds, Wilson's Warblers, Western Wood-pewees, Blue Jays, a variety of woodpeckers, a Bullock's Oriole, and a Warbling Vireo. Elsewhere on the way out I had a Loggerhead Shrike and an unidentified accipiter. It was a nice selection. Someday, I will learn how to properly take a day off.
