Tweets - It was a fine morning, warm but not too hot, only a bit of
occasional breeze.  It was fairly quiet, though; not as active as last
week.

Highlights:
     Eurasian Collared-Dove - One at NE corner of off-leash area
     Glaucous-winged Dove - One, our first identifiable gull since May
     Pileated Woodpecker - One heard several times, just after 6:00 a.m.
     Merlin - One, mobbed by swallows.  Third straight week, and 5th
of last 7 weeks
     Orange-crowned Warbler - One along SW edge of Dog Meadow
     Black-throated Gray Warbler - At least 3, probably 5 or more, SW
edge of Dog Meadow
     Western Tanager - One or two, probably juvenile females, west
edge of Dog Meadow

At least 2 juvenile OSPREY on the western nest platform.  At least 2
juvenile PURPLE MARTINS in the right-most gourd.

I saw at least 9 EASTERN COTTONTAIL and 1 COYOTE.

Misses today included American Barn Owl, Warbling Vireo, Violet-green
Swallow, Cliff Swallow, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Marsh Wren, Red-winged
Blackbird, and Brown-headed Cowbird.

For the day, 56 species.
