dog days of summer (not yet)

Spent a little time on the platform yesterday and finally picked up a new yardbird - - BEKI. Seems like that was a wee-bit overdue. Also had a SEWR carrying food, an egret or two, and a handful of bitterns.

Starlings chased out the bluebirds in the front (i returned the favor). other breeders for the yard include Song Sparrow, American Robin, Common Grackle, and House Wren and an agitated Swamp Sparrow.

Contemplating when to put in place the Marsh Wren Plan to get this across-the-cattails denizen on my yard list. I was hoping he'd come to me but it ain't looking so promising.

Sora and Willow Flycatcher also just out of range....
