Big Ass Year Mania

Man alive!    It's a Big Ass Year Big Ass Day.  Already Crumby has espied four new species and it aint even noon.  The four new species are Swainson's hawk,  cliff swallow, clay-colored sparrow and one of those plain winged, squinty eyed vireos that Crumby failed to espy enough to call.   Probably a Philadelphia, but that's a tough call in these parts.

Yes.  The Swainson's are migrating.  Crumby has espied three so far.  No big kettles yet.  The Stinky Valley cliff swallows are back.   Sadly, water for mud is in short supply.   Clay-colored migrant depicted.
