This afternoon I had a brief opportunity to head out and look for birds. I went over to nearby Elings Park, where just this morning a Lazuli Bunting (a new migrant) was reported.
It was rather quiet there bird-wise, which is not so unexpected in the middle of the day. There were a good variety of swallows and a flyby Cooper's Hawk, but no Buntings Lazuli or otherwise.
I was surprised at how dry the grass there was already - the drought really is making things hard for the natural world around here.
During my brief time there I did not manage any photos. Not an impressive outing but it has been quite a good week for birds so I am not complaining!
After today the year's total still stands at 206.

Today I rode a total of 2.9 miles
