Very nice morning here at the EWBC, I'm really glad the sun finally came out! After quite a few days of the grounds being pretty quiet, there has been some activity, making the day even brighter! Our dragonfly pond has had some warblers hanging out such as the Pine Warbler, Black-and White Warbler, Wilson's Warbler as well as the White-eyed Vireo and, of course, the Great Kiskadees. I also spotted a Roseate Spoonbill out at South Pond, but it flew off as soon as the group and I got to the overlook! The Ringed Kingfisher was spotted at the North Pond, beautiful bird!
