Continuing cloudy and cool

Another day more reminiscent of March than May – in fact I think it was warmer in March!

Cool and cloudy

wandered over to the park – water levels have stayed stable the last few days…

log bay

despite it being not quite so windy today, it was actually quite quiet over here….saw a Wilson’s Warbler, but missed getting a picture, and there was an Orange-crowned Warbler in those willows…

Black-capped Chickadee

a couple of Black-capped Chickadee were working around in all the bushes…

Goldfinch in the bushes

but the predominant species were the American Goldfinch…seems there is an unending supply over there!  Of course these are late nesters so they aren’t even thinking about nest building yet….

Goldfinches

they are just enjoying life – there are 4 of them in the above picture…all drying off after a bath…

Singing in the bushes

this male was singing his head off.  I did see a Barn Swallow today – they sure are late arriving!  The Black-headed Grosbeaks have been busy at the feeders all day and I’ve heard some Evening Grosbeaks but not as many as a few days ago.  Saw an Osprey today but still no sign of any Spotted Sandpipers.
