Midnats John and Shirley and the Kellys braved the elements at I-20
Saturday morning and were greatly rewarded for their efforts. Best birds of
the day were Warbling Vireo - possibly 2 birds as the locations were widely
separated, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and female American Redstart. The wind and
temperature actually kept the mosquitoes at bay so the morning was really
enjoyable.  Numerous singing Bell's Vireo were an additional treat. A
lingering Cinnamon Teal and a SPOTTED Spotted Sandpiper graced Benchmark
Pond.
The Master Naturalist crew was working at the butterfly garden which is
looking really fabulous, I actually snagged a Monarch there on Friday
morning. We had several Reakirt's Blue and a fresh Question Mark along the
trail. As we left the butterfly garden, a rain storm approached from the
north and the temp dropped noticeably. Raindrops began falling about the
time we reached our vehicles.  We topped off a fantastic morning with
equally fantastic Green Chicken enchiladas at Reynas.  So great to spend
time with the Midnats again.
