Good to hear from you again, John! Reading your list of sightings reminded me that no one has reported a Red-eyed Vireo yet. Will it be June first??

Im behind again as usual but did have one Red-eyed singing at Cheam yesterday morning.

The May list grows!

John good to hear from you too! That might be one of the later Lesser Scaup records for the park.
