Good afternoon,
We had a nice, cool day for a bird walk with tons of birds to see!  We started 
off with some great birds at the Nature Center, Altamira Orioles, Clay-colored 
Thrush, and plenty of Green Jays.  Not too much at the Resaca, so we headed 
towards the Kiskadee Blind, where we saw an Eastern Screech-Owl, Golden-fronted 
Woodpecker, and several Olive Sparrows.  We finally saw a Lincoln's Sparrow at 
the Green Jay Blind, and more White-tipped Doves.  On the ride around the park, 
we sat with a very bold Greater Roadrunner searching for food and had several 
Gray Hawks perching in trees.
