Hello, all. Below is the tally from yesterday’s jaunt through Dairy Mart and the Bird & Butterfly Garden.

 You’ll note that there are some late additions. Gail DeLalla tarried at the Bird & Butterfly Garden after we left, and had a loud crowd of four Black-throated Magpie Jays arrive. And I doubled back to our starting point and caught a flock of Starlings and a few Western Bluebirds on the way.
