Given the oppressive heat lately, I hadn’t been out to the Reserve for awhile but temps were quite comfortable this morning. 

Relatively quiet but good species variety. 

2 Green Herons
Belted Kingfisher 
5 Wood Ducks
E Phoebe
Yellow-breasted Chat—v cooperative, singing in open
Tree Swallows 
Field Sparrows

Heard only:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
White-eyed Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo 
Com Yellowthroat

O/w the usual. 

Lots of butterflies: must have been a new hatch of Swallowtails—they practically glistened. One of the Ladies, Painted I think, Monarchs, Red Admiral. Feeding on thistle.
