Hi
Several of us went out with Gary Swanson’s Ornithology class to the Bass Ponds. We saw 64 species.  Among them were Black and White, Tennessee , Orange Crown and Yellow Warblers as well as a couple of Northern Waterthrush.  We saw  four maybe five  Dowitchers a lifer for me and heard a least flycatcher.  A clay colored sparrow posed for us and other shore birds included, Lesser yellowlegs, Solitary , spotted, and semipalmated sandpipers.  Also Barn, cliff tree and bank swallows.  We heard a couple of Baltimore Orioles but I never got a good look at one but they’ll be in my yard any day now. A female Hooded merganser with about six chicks was quite a treat to see and a single eastern towhee was heard.  It felt like we were finally seeing some good birds.
Here are some photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/with/26769807511/ <https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/with/26769807511/>
