Lots of bird activity in the park this morning! Chachalacas were singing
their heads off, a pair of loud Red-crowned Parrots took off from the
amphitheater area, and swifts and swallows were going nuts overhead.
The bird walk enjoyed seeing some fledglings - we saw a family of
Curve-billed Thrashers (the juveniles were not shy in the slightest (
http://flic.kr/p/efnNmT). A young White-eyed Vireo perched quietly as one
of its parents foraged nearby (http://flic.kr/p/efnNkT).
Still some migrants around as well - Ovenbird, Black-and-white Warbler,
etc. Lots of *Empidonax *flycatchers were moving around as well, could ID
couple but many remained unconfirmed. Full list (48 species) below.
