A break in the weather

Sometimes in birding and life, the weather is going to be dark and miserable, and then you will get a break in that weather. You need to take advantage of these relieving interludes, and that is exactly what we did today. Sam and I went up to the Triple Tree Area, and spotted most of the usual birds, including a First-of-Year Willow Flycatcher, and many new butterflies for the season (Silvery Blue, Variable Checkerspot, and a possible California Tortoiseshell).
