Gary, Jeanette and myself covered Castellow Hammock, Larry & Penny Thompson Park, also including our neighborhoods plus an area around the Palmetto Golf Course to the west of where Jeanette lives. What's worse than a day out counting migrant birds when there's not too many migrant birds around? A really, really HOT day out counting birds! Jeanette described it very aptly: like walking around in a microwave!! Only one warbler was seen throughout the day, and it was a female Redstart in Jeanette's yard! Below is our list for the day:
