High Hopes

There was an inexplicable mini bird wave yesterday.  Our first Golden-crowned Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, and Chimney Swifts were seen.  We decided to start Farallonathon, as it is getting quite late in the season, and we don't know if we are going to get any mega wave at all this fall.  Farallonathon is a fundraiser where people donate a certain amount of money for every species that we see out here.  I'm thinking of donating 20 cents/species, since I am a rich Wildlife Biologist.  If you want to follow along with Farallonathon, try the Island blog:  <losfarallones.blogspot.com>
