Best of the morning bird walk? A young bobcat walking down the road in
front of us. It sprinted a short distance, stopped, looked around, started
to sit, changed its mind... When it crouched and started stalking
something off to the right we thought it would disappear from sight, but
instead it turned around, walked down the road a bit farther, then sprinted
out of sight. Great Kiskadees and Northern Cardinals were cooperative,
showy and entertaining. We were also able to see female, first year male
and adult male Common Yellowthroats from Kiskadee Deck. Hunter's Lane
resaca has much more water than the resaca visible from the tram road, and
this is where we walked this morning.
