Sunday, June 1, Carol, Sammy and I enjoyed the cool of the evening by 
checking the Yellow-crowned Night Heron nests along the Greenbelt at the end of 
American Way Drive. At least two nests have young. At least one of these two 
has a 
minimum of two chicks.

The trail by the restrooms near the boat loading ramp below Winged Deer Park 
in Johnson City was active with bird flight and song just before sunset. Cedar 
waxwings and trio of Orchard orioles were highlights.

BTW, the Great Texas Birding Bonanza (GTBB) with Bob Quillen and Dave Worley 
was a blast! The bird of the trip remains a close call between the 
Rose-throated Becard, White-collared Seedeater and several colorful eyepleasers!
