Nice yard bird, Ed! Bentley excellent additions from Silver Lake area nicely done. Great to hear the waterthrushes are back. Chris thanks for getting some of the "Eastern Specialties" (Ruby-crowned Kinglet in summer, Mountain Chickadee etc) for the month. A good addition is a Lark Sparrow members Bruce and Joanne found at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve on the 9th but was not seen again. We're looking to break the record for June if this strong start to the month continues.

Bentley, thanks. That was a nice Dusky Flycatcher you had there too. Also forgot kudos for enjoying other fauna and for the new reptile on your list.
Least Flycatcher going on the update as well as Mourning Dove at Island 22 and the pair of Merlin nesting in our neighbourhood.

Thanks to all for a good month. We got just over the average for the month. A few misses of some species which will happen every month. Bentley, I've seen in the past Green Heron flying either south or westwards from Young Road in the past and wondered where they were coming from. Is that small wetland still there at the park?

Yes, the wetland is still there and healthy enough to support a large variety of dragonflies!
