Good Morning,
We had a pleasant bird walk this morning with a nice variety of birds.  We 
started by looking at a few hummingbird species buzzing around the Turk's Cap 
in the Headquarters Gardens.  On the way to the Resaca, we had a tree with a 
Couch's Kingbird, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, White-winged Dove, and a Great 
Kiskadee!  What a show!  Strolling down the Kiskadee trail, we had a great look 
at an Eastern Screech Owl, a few other birds moving through the trees, and a 
Gray Hawk calling from somewhere inside the park.  Lastly, we finished up at 
the Green Jay blind watching the Great Kiskadees and Green Jays coming to the 
water.
