Good Morning TexBirders,
We had a nice morning for a bird walk-not too hot and breezy.  We started off 
at the Headquarters with a Great Kiskadee, Black Phoebe, Altamira Oriole, and a 
calling Yellow-billed Cuckoo.  We moved onto the Resaca and saw a Mottled Duck, 
Green Kingfisher, several Couch's Kingbirds, and a lone Chimney Swift.  There 
were also PLENTY of Blue Spiny Lizards on the outside walls of the Pavilion 
sunning themselves.  The group strolled down Kiskadee Trail for a Northern 
Beardless Tyrannulet (which we saw!) and picked up a few Brown-crested 
Flycatchers, White-tipped Doves, and Northern Cardinals.  We finished up the 
morning with watching Green Jays and Black-crested Titmouse at the Nature 
Center.  Good morning with a few life-birds for guests!
