Day 2: 1000 Species Challenge

September 2 was Labor Day, another slow day with no serious birding, mostly hanging out with my family.  Heavy rains and thunderstorms in the morning kept me from getting out much.  But I did do a food inventory in my kitchen and came up with over 80 species.  In the afternoon we went to another pool party with friends and I picked up a few birds, as well as White-tailed Deer and Domestic Sheep.  At home in the evening I got shots of a few moths at the light on my patio.  With additional moths left to identify, I ended the day at 112+ species:
