Just Another Day Countin' Birds For The Man

Whatsup fools.  It's just about time to go out to dinner, so I'm gonna make this fast.  I'm glad the weekend is finally here.  Sultry's birthday is tomorrow, so that should be fun.  Here are the highlights of my day:

Hutton's Vireo, with nice bright highlights.  

Remember the Pacslope on nest from a few weeks ago?  http://toophotosaday.blogspot.com/2012/05/steer-with-knee.html Well it turned into these three little Pacslopes.

Steer With Knee

Well, I'm TPADing and driving.  A first.  Very Extreme.

Should I Chase The Northern Gannet?

Found a bunch of nests today.  No big deal.  Most of them were Phainopeplas.  Like I said, no biggie.  I also saw these migrating birds:

Pacific-slope Flycatcher.  AKA Yellow Empid.

I think this bird was sick or weak or both.  It couldn't fly very well.  Western Tanager.   South El Monte, CA.

Embarrassing Empids

I saw a bunch of empids today.  Mostly they were Pac-slopes, but I had a few others mixed in too.  I had forgotten what a pain this Empid situation is.  All in all a good day at work.  Decent showing of migrants, but nothing cray.

You tell me what this one is.  I'm too embarrassed to guess.  How embarrassing.
