Dear All,
   A Monarch was in the yard for at least 20 minutes today working
Aster cordifolius blossoms. I do not recall having seen them in the yard
previously. Are they having an unusually good year ?

Hi all:
I found a dickcissel at Bell Cove Road in Dublin Shore today. There actually might have been two. It was up for the perfect photo. This is a road that has very little traffic. Well just as the bird first appeared a dump truck went by scaring it. Extreme bad timing. I had to settle for a record photo only. I also wish that I had more time to root about for other birds. There seemed to be a fair amount of activity in regards to migration. Work takes top priority though.
