Blue Grosbeak at Governor Bridge Natural Area

It was a nice change from yesterday’s weather. Low 70s and calm, gradually warming.
I got to Governor Bridge around 6:45, but it wasn’t very active. I found a few nice birds early, but the activity slowed to a crawl after an hour, and it too a while to find anything at all.
Fortunately, fellow birder Mardi was around and we searched for birds and bugs together for a while. Thanks for the assist, Mardi.
