Checklist Comments

The day after my knee surgery I had to get out of the house -- plus it's the first of September and I was dying to see something new at the lagoon. Was not disappointed, with top highlights being two Purple Martins and four White-faced Ibis (both flying over). Not much pain in the knee, so I should be able to get out and around, albeit slowly, all week! 76-78F; sunny with scattered clouds; wind 3-5 mph.
