Too much work...
... has kept me from attempting any serious birding recently, and the rare occasions I have got out have been hampered by strong winds (and an ensuing lack of migrant activity). The amount of time I've spent chained to the desk did at least allow me to add Blue-gray Gnatcatcher to my office list. Here's a more typical view from my office:
Swainson's Hawks are back in, and seemingly everywhere at the moment.
The heron rookery in the Arboretum is also in full swing.
Several birds were gathering nesting material, which seems like a somewhat futile task in today's howling wind!
