It was another very busy morning of migration in the University of Idaho
Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Moscow. The best bird was my first GRAY

Dusky Flycatcher 2-3
Empidonax sp. 1
Cassin’s Vireo 1
Warbling Vireo 3
Red-breasted Nuthatch 10-15
House Wren 2

MacGillivray’s Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler ~30 including one Myrte or intergrade
