I spent more time in the yard today (8/9/2017).  The birds came and went but my only bird of interest was what I think was probably a male Wilson’s warbler, although I can’t be absolutely positive that it wasn’t a female.  The black cap seemed somewhat light… it might have been a juvenile male.  The bird was cooperative in that it flew around the yard for a while, giving me ample opportunity for photos.

Mid-afternoon I decided to run an errand and on the way back to the house decided to drive through the neighborhood, keeping in mind that a neighbor got a good photo of an owl in the neighborhood last week.  l had just passed through what I considered the prime owl habitat area when I spied a Barred owl in a cedar tree right beside the road.  I took many photos and even managed to alert several neighbors who also were able to view the owl.
