Walk lasted between 12:00 and 14:01

A welcome change. After last week’s 102 F, we registered a pleasant 78 F for this walk. We had the same number of species as last week, 19, which was 2.5 above the prediction and 7 below the record maximum for the week. We again saw the Western Flycatcher and the Warbling Vireo. The big surprise was Wilson’s Warbler. Can the Yellow-rumped Warbler be far behind. Next week is week 39 and they might be here then but likely for sure by the following week, week 40.
