End of May dirt birds…
Just a few common species around town now…
A quiet Friday morning
Not much in the big park today; the above woodpecker, a few Dusky and Brown-headed Thrushes passing through, lots of Chestnut-cheeked Starlings.

I did see 2 crossbills a couple of days ago but nearly all have departed.
House-hunting
The tiny park near my place has several Chestnut-cheeked Starling pairs checking potential nestholes…
A lady narc
The only migrant passing through near my apartment today was this female Narcissus Flycatcher.
A bit tricky to get a clear shot…
