Eastern Kingbird
Tink Moyer, Huck Hutchens, and I met in Swoope this morning, and birded as a three vehicle convoy to maintain social distancing. Our target species were Bobolink and Grasshopper Sparrow, and while we only got one of them, we ended up with 44 avian species and had an enjoyable outing.
