Today was a little slow after yesterday's eight year birds, but I did pick up two new birds this morning.

159. Grasshopper Sparrow
160. Gray Catbird

After I got home I thought I had another new bird for the year. I heard an Eastern Wood Pewee in the woods behind my house, but when I went out to look for it I saw a starling doing a perfect pewee imitation.

Had a tip off about a 'mad' Capercaillie a few kilometers outside of Uppsala yesterday, so a couple of us went to see him early this morning. He didn't disappoint! He was very feisty and aggressive. Also picked up a few easy year ticks that I should have seen months ago.

This afternoon while driving slowly down a country lane with my windows down (listening for birds), I heard the distinctive song of a Tennessee Warbler. I stopped and got good looks at a pair, and even managed to take a poor-quality picture.
