Tweets - We had a very nice Summer Solstice survey today, with good
weather.  Few surprises, and no sign of the Lark Sparrow that was reported
yesterday.

Highlights:
     Glaucous-winged Gull - Two flew overhead; only our 2nd sighting in 8
weeks
     Caspian Tern - It seems odd, but we've had Caspians over 1/2 the years
for this week of the year.  Four over the lake today
     Green Heron - Beautiful adult at the Rowing Club pond.  First of Year
(FOY)
     Great Blue Heron - Maybe half of the chicks have fledged.  Awkward
fishing techniques on display
     Accipiter sp. - One that had me leaning towards Sharp-shinned, but it
never gave us good looks
     YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT - Continuing from last week.  Singing from
various locations in/near the south end of the East Meadow.  Good looks
     Yellow-rumped Warbler - Very well marked male "Audubon's" below the
weir.  First since early May

Misses included Hooded and Common Mergansers, Rock Pigeon, Red-tailed Hawk,
Red-eyed Vireo, and Cliff Swallow.

For the day, 60 species.  For the year, 127 species for the survey.
