Big news today was the Yellow-headed Blackbird that showed up on the island. Big news for all the birders who saw (and didn’t) see it—especially, perhaps, my own self, since it was a lifer for me. However, back at the Trailing Yew later, as I popped into my room to change from shorts to jeans, the bird showed up all sunlit and photogenic on the tip of a spruce overlooking the yard. Dang it.

With so much going on out here, it’s hard to make time for thrilling blog entries. So for the next few days, I’ll just try for a partial species list and post a few semi-decent photos. And maybe mention a few highlights—like the Clay-Colored Sparrow that wowed us by fluttering back and forth along the trail, munching on Queen Anne’s Lace.
