It was muggy, calm, and overcast this morning and the birds - as if they were trying to tell us something - apparently slept in. Vince Elia relieved me of my vigil for the morning and spared me a slow flight. Nevertheless, a few sightings were noteworthy, including the 4th Dickcissel of the year already.
