The raptors really became active, as did the sparrows. I was able to pick up a couple of life birds--a Northern Harrier and a Swamp Sparrow--and I had good looks at a Blue-headed Vireo (bad photo reluctantly included), a Common Raven calling out while flying overhead, a Savannah Sparrow, and a Grasshopper Sparrow. Saw a few more Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, too, but it was most thrilling to watch and listen to one (pic below) calling out for upwards of 5 minutes!
