Bill Sefton reports:

Threatening skies, gusty winds, and finally a nearby rumble of thunder made us abort this cleanup day/bird walk after only 30 minutes.  That was enough time to gather up 5 bags of trash that had accumulated between the first and second gates as well as pick up some mostly “trash birds” along the way.  

I’m naming the Dark-eyed Junco as the bird of the day since this is probably the last time we’ll see this species at FUNA for 6 or 7 months .
