Had a great morning at Quinta Mazatlan. The bird walk got great looks at
some very recently fledged Carolina Wrens just outside the WBC doors (
http://flic.kr/p/edymV8), still with some downy tufts! We later saw a
White-eyed Vireo fledgling getting fed, and got great looks at our nesting
Pauraque (http://flic.kr/p/edE2xo). Lots of nesting activity in the park!
Aside from nests and fledgling, there were a few migrants present as well.
We got looks at Summer and Scarlet Tanagers, as well as Wood and Swainson's
Thrushes. Other migrants also present - see full list below. Bird walks are
offered every Tuesday at 8:30 AM - hope to see you out there!
