I took yesterday off to do a little "Non-green" Birding. I went on a boat trip out of Ventura and had a great day on the ocean watching some great seabirds. An added bonus was that it was not quite so hot out on the water.
I went out for a quick jaunt this morning before the heat cranked up again. I met up with a couple of birders and we were lucky to find a Blackburnian Warbler, which joins the year list at #258. The only other time I had seen this bird was in Ecuador. Although the bird was not in its spiffy breeding plumage it was still a nice-looking specimen, so it was too bad I was unable to get a photo. I did have witnesses, which is the next best thing.
After that I went home and took a nap in the heat of the day.
After the addition of this 1 species, the year's total stands at 258
