This afternoon at around 7:30pm at Arrowhead Lakes in Rome.

8- White Ibis, (7 1st years, 1 adult)--lakes 3 and 8   this is the first
sighting at the lakes on record

4- Yellow-crowned nightherons  --lakes 8 and 9

1-maybe 2 least bitterns (this the second year in a row for a pair here in
summer) lake 9 with willows.

at least 7 orchard orioles including a male feeding blackberries to two
immatures.  this confirms them breeding here which I have been after for
about 4 years.

no sign of tree swallows in any of the wood duck boxes we checked.  No
swallows flying overhead or martins which was unusal.
