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.
