What a great birding day it was today. First of all we saw Barn Swallows, everywhere over 75 of them. I was afraid of on crashing into me. Then a few other cool species like cuckoos, great egret, and the hawk, all great sightings. Ernie, Jessica, and myself all thought so. If you read yesterday list you would notice the increase of birds. I hope that everyone is having as much luck seeing birds.
