Tweets - It was a delightful morning today, and the birds were singing.
Mostly sunny, and neither too cold nor too hot.  It's June, so we have a
pretty set list of birds we might see, and we saw most of them plus a few
others

Highlights:
     Pied-billed Grebe - One from the Lake Platform, after 6 weeks of
absence
     Band-tailed Pigeon - Notably many sightings
     Virginia Rail - One responded from across the slough after 6 weeks of
absence (or at least silence)
     Ring-billed Gull - Two flew north overhead.  First since March
     Downy Woodpecker - Pair bringing food to a nest at the west end of the
boardwalk
     Western Wood-Pewee - Doing full-blown two-part song this morning
     Western Flycatcher - First of Year (FOY), also singing
     Cedar Waxwing - Many sightings
     Orange-crowned Warbler - Two heard, one pre-dawn, one at the end of
the walk at the Rowing Club
     Black-throated Gray Warbler - Matt heard one singing at the Rowing Club
     Western Tanager - One seen briefly, another heard

About 25 species were heard singing today.  Quite a few babies about too.

Pre-dawn, Tony saw a BOBCAT at the SW corner of the East Meadow (FOY)

It was a good day.
