  Locke and I took advantage of the cooler (thank God) weather to take an early walk out on French Bar Road. We really didn't see anything that we haven't seen before, the usual Kingbirds, Phoebes, and Goldfinches. But we did spot a couple of birds that we hadn't seen since the list began, at least on French Bar Road. After finally spotting a Lazuli Bunting on Middle Bar Road yesterday we saw at least five this morning on French Bar.
    We were lucky enough to add the Lark Sparrow, a beautiful painted bird with delicate white fringes on its tail, to the list. This is another bird we usually spot on French Bar, but only today we were able to add it to the list.
     Down by the creek about a mile later we were able to spot a pair of House Wrens, which surprisingly enough, is a lifer for me. They were perched on the barbed wire fence and once they saw us they darted into a blackberry bush.
   It's Thursday tonight and the beginning of our weekend so I'll cut this post short. Goodnight
