July 22 (Thurs) –
In studio most of the day mounting etc.
Evening B + I to Three Rod Road Park on the hill above Williston - A slight rain falling – a pleasant hour.
Wood-thrush and the wichity-wichity-wichity – Which B identified for me as the yellow-tailed warbler.
Stop at cheese factory in Williston and got some mild derry + swiss – then to the hill south of 20 - and then home via Jamison + Stolle Rd.
When we got home we had to sample the cheese, which was delicious. I made a huge sandwich.
