14 March (and not as bad as you feared)
Home from class -- hot, hot, and well overdone. 75° when we started at 8; 92° when we finished at noon. Not as many birds as hoped for, as they are smart enough to stay someplace cool, but a few nice ones. This was the first outing with the new 5300 body and I am pleased with its performance, given the harsh light and deep shadows.
