Was it too hot

This morning we did another quail survey. We have been using the Merlin app to record the species of birds we hear. This morning’s list includes Mourning Dove, Purple Martin American Crow, House Sparrow, Painted Bunting, Blue Grosbeak, Painted Bunting, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Carolina Wren, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, White-eyed Vireo, titmouse, Eastern Phoebe, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, House Finch, Summer Tanager, Northern Mockingbird, Downy and Ladder-back Woodpeckers, and the Great Crested Flycatcher. The cardinals and crows are what we usually hear at every stop. However, no Bobwhites this morning. 🙁 Sometimes the Merlin app tries to tell us we hear a bird that I know would not be in the area. But it is pretty good overall I think. The birds were not as vocal this morning. And we wondered if it was the heat? Or maybe the breeding season is about done.
