FOY Osprey yard bird - one just flew nearby by my yard (giles st in Ithaca) 
going towards Six Mile Creek.  Saw others at Salt Point and Myer's earlier, and 
a couple around the Ithaca area in recent days, but this is the first time this 
year I've seen the one (more than one?) that frequents my neighborhood.  
Gray Catbird made a noisy return to my backyard today, enjoying the birdbath.  
Yellow-rumped warbler at Salt Point in lansing.  Indigo Bunting female on wire, 
also at Salt Point - drab brown bird, with pale throat and bunting bill - 
didn't recognize it at first, but fit the descriptions of "drabbest bird" (but 
beautiful in its own way!)

OOB - well, way, way out of basin, but a couple of weeks ago I was at the Grand 
Canyon, and saw a California Condor as Steve and I hiked up the Bright Angel 
Trail :-). Very close in, tagged on both wings, but I couldn't read the tags.  
Soared nearby for a couple of minutes.  Of course, my camera was in my pack, 
but I savored the sight with my binoculars.  Snapped a couple of pictures with 
the phone before it disappeared into the distance.  Definitely a lifer.
