McCormick's Mill midsummer

I paid a visit to the McCormick's Mill agricultural station and wayside this morning, for the first time in months. I was a little disappointed not to see or hear any orioles, which have nested there in the past. Today's highlights:

• Bluebirds
• Brown thrashers
• Tree swallows
• Green herons (2 A, 1 J)
• Phoebe
• Kingfisher
• Cedar waxwing
• Killdeers

Plus, the usual Barn swallows, Canada geese, Mallards (two families with several juveniles each), Robins, etc.
