Warmth Returns

Sunday, September 15th, 2019
Lesser Goldfinch, East Millcreek, Salt Lake City, Utah, 15 September 2019.
Lesser Goldfinch.

Upper 60s (F) first thing. Warming into the upper-80s—or more—later. Plenty of birds about, as always. Watched magpies catching grasshoppers. Felt a little sorry for the grasshoppers.

Spied a hummingbird, a kestrel, a starling, and the usual suspects.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
