Good Afternoon Everyone!
The fog posed an interesting challenge this morning with birding. It started
off with a lesson on identifying Great Kiskadees by their call. The Nature
Center had many of the usual suspects, but we did miss the Clay-colored Thrush.
The best birding this morning ending up being the Gardens at the Headquarters
building, which is a great location for Long-billed and Curve-billed Thrashers,
Olive Sparrows, and the White-eyed Vireos! Once the fog lifted several guests
reported seeing the Black-Headed Grosbeak and Gray Hawks in the park.
