h1. May 2015 birdwatching obs

Mon, May 18, 2015.

I have not recorded bird obs for each day in our neighborhood while exercise walking and walking Barney. I wish that I had. 

I don't know if this is a better than average migration through our area. I'll have to check BSBO banding data. But starting around May 2, we've had good migrating bird song in our neighborhood since.


h2. May 7 RIVP

Early on Thu morning, May 7, DD and I birdwatched for 55 minutes at Rossford Island View Park, but I did not record the obs. 

We heard a YTVI. We saw four INBU forage near each other on the gravel trail. We obs SCTA, RBGR, and several warbler species. 

For under an hour, it wound up being fine birdwatching.

On Fri, May 8, DD and I arrived at Ottawa Park around 7:30 a.m. From my Field Notes notebook:
