Hot tub birding

Bird number 34 of my big year is a Killdeer. We heard it calling while sitting in the hot tub this evening. I think one year I'll try a big year from the hot tub! It's surprising how many Canada geese fly up and down the river in the dark. The Northern Saw-whet Owl was calling again. I'm still waiting to see my first Tree Swallows. My neighbour's reported a small group almost two weeks ago. Maybe the nice weather is keeping them further south. There certainly are enough small flies around to feed them. Clouds of them seem to be everywhere these days.
