I forgot to add the most unusual Mt Pleasant bird - an Osprey circling way high overhead. It then folded its wings and peeled off to the east - checking out Dryden Lake?

There was also a flock of Horned Larks there the day it was ploughed, not new arrivals, I surmise, but simply those unfortunate individuals whose nests had been trashed by the plough (yes, I know I spell that word differently than most of you...!!). Many Bobolinks in song over the dandelion-y field east of the radio tower Savannah Sparrows - several In the woods: Least Flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Baltimore Oriole, Common Yellowthroat Lots Tree and Barn Swallows European Starling doing a convincing imitation of an Eastern Phoebe song, while frantically performing its wing-wave display on a nest box. OK, now off to England, where starlings are somewhat more appreciated than here......!
