Today early afternoon about three miles north of Myers I came upon the largest
flock of Cormorants I can remember on the lake, about 120 birds sitting on the
water, all took off and flew north as I rowed by.

yes, that Mockingbird is a virtuoso- when he's really geared up , so
many songs go by so fast that it is bewildering. And he doesn't only do
the showy songsters, his Willow Flycatcher imitation is just about

A quiet walk around Salt Point at Myers today found the resident flock of a
dozen or so E BLUEBIRDS at the north end of the meadow, along with a N FLICKER.
Along with the usual gulls and Mallards there was a small flock of C GOLDENEYE
off the north shore.
