Hi, all!
Subject bird was the big highlight this morning during a return visit to
Estero with Griffin; other highlights at the park included six Yellow-headed
Blackbirds near Ibis Pond, a great look at one of the "McCall's" Screech
Owls, and the Tropical Parula making a reappearance at the water feature
near Pauraque Hall in the Tropical Zone! A chase after the Prairie Falcon
reported out by Jara Chinas Road near McCook turned up empty, but we DID
briefly see a Say's Phoebe across from the noisy compressor on the way up
there, along with a Merlin closer to FM 490! Some pictures can be seen on
my Facebook page:
