July comes to an end and with it my retirement

July has now come to an end and overall it was quite warm with multiple heat waves and humid conditions.  It is usually one of the slowest months for warblers outside of winter around here and I did not get out a ton due to both the heat and work.  Work will no longer be an issue moving forward as I retired at the end of the month.  Now I will get to bird full time, travel more and spend more time with Wilson.  Even without being out a ton I still got some warblers including the 14th species at the water feature at the house this year with a Yellow Warbler.  I also added a few warbler for the month with a trip to the Finger Lakes in the middle of the month.
