We made it up and out to the last of the series of bird walks for this season at the cemetery. That makes three this year - up from just one (with Dad) last year.
Here are some of the things we saw this morning:

We also heard (clearly) eastern wood pewee and warbling vireo both of which were new to us to identify (albeit only by sound).
