Another good day on the dune, with up to 20 WWCR feeding around the parkinglot, several small flocks of CORE and PISI, 6 EVGR (the first "modern" Tiscornia record), and a super confiding LCSP that feed within two feet of us!

As I was leaving Tiscornia I had a single CASW make a couple passes over the road before heading south, the next couple days look good for getting some more of these confused swallows.

 CORE and LCSP, not a common sight in SW Michigan.
