Hello all.

It was a great morning to be out and about. I went to Lake Shore Athletic Complex for about 3 hours this morning and found a few seasonal favorites and also easly Swanison's Thrush and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. However, the highlight was a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher found along the soccer area entrance trail.  The Swainson's was a nice surprise along the old horse trail and the Kinglet was found in the brush by the soccer fields.
