July 31, 2022 The yard hosted 56 species of birds this month, somewhat shy of last month’s 66 birds and July of last year’s 65. Highlights include July rarities like the black-throated gray warbler and white-breasted nuthatch, two vireos, three orioles, nine different hummingbirds, and the first brown-crested flycatchers fledged from the yard’s nest box.
55 species for July here, fewer than last year's 60. Have 56 for August so far and it's just the beginning. Hope it's a good one. Nice that your box fledged Great-crested FCs. Have never seen one here.
The Big Yard: Notes from a Pajama Birdwatcher
I love your description of the holiness of rain.

Thanks Karen! One of those things you don't think about much until it's gone...
