Spiders Galore at Governor Bridge Natural Area

With another perfect day and last night’s North winds, I anticipated an influx of migrants, but it just didn’t happen. Birds were scarce in general, and not a migrant was in sight.
I did see a few bugs, and more spiders than usual.

Blue Gray Gnatcatcher

Blue Gray Gnatcatchers were the most active birds this morning.
