In advance of tomorrow's Norwich Quest birding walk on the Cossingham 
Trails (meeting at Dan and Whit's at 6:45 am), I did some scouting from 
6-7:30 am this morning.  A nice selection of woodland and open country 
birds, though song activity is dwindling.  A number of species are 
feeding young now and so responsive to 'pishing' -- I had great looks at 
some of the birds below. 

Deer flies were mildly annoying, mosquitoes less so.  Anyone planning to 
come might do well to wear long sleeves and a hat.  Weather sounds a bit 
iffy, but we'll hope showers and thunderstorms hold off.  I'll be at D&W 
at 6:45 regardless of weather, and we'll make a decision on the spot.
