On my way home I quickly looked at Marston Reservoir from the east side only,
[Bow Mar Dr.]
Lot's of birds have left [species and numbers]. Many of the Gulls have left but
some remain. I had a nice look at 3, Common Loons. Two were in alternate

I also saw the black-throated gray warbler this morning on the north side
of Dixon.

I saw the male Northern Parula at the Sinton Pond at 2:20 this afternoon.
