This morning started off muggy with little to no breeze, so the birds were not
really moving too much. We did have a Clay-colored Thrush, Buff-bellied
Hummingbird, and plenty of White-winged Doves at the Headquarters. At the
Resaca we saw a Great Egret and heard a Northern Beardless Tyrannulet and
Altamira Orioles, but they were nowhere to be seen. On the way to the Kisakdee
Blind, we had a nice look at an Eastern Screech Owl and several Golden-fronted
Woodpeckers. While at the Kiskadee Blind we spotted a Black-and-white Warbler
moving through the brush. Lastly, we stopped at the Hawk Tower to get a breeze
and watched Broad-winged Hawks swirling in a kettle.
