Not a lot of migrants around this morning, but it was a nice day for birding regardless. Wader activity is mainly at the second tram road bridge, although there is also decent water at Evel's Bench off of Yellowthroat Loop. Yellowthroat remains the most reliable trail for Groove-billed Ani although this morning, despite glimpses of several, the best views were at the far end of Quail Loop.
