Got to the refuge at dawn, bird noise quite evident. ;)
The water level in all ponds is getting very, very low. Saw the usual
shorebirds for this time of year, and a few Whistlers.
A Cara Cara was perched atop a tree as we came in, but the light was
very low and no decent shots gotten. The highlight though were the Bob
White Quail along Teal Pond road. They were scattered in ones and twos
up and down the road.

and the most pathetic looking BC Heron fledgling (although admittedly
all fledgling birds look pretty pathetic). He was perched on one of the
railings at the gator pond next to the hdqtrs....and yes, there was a
gator down below waiting for him to make a slip.

Lots of Swamp Bunnies also hopping about. Lots and lots of mosquitoes,
but a pretty morning.
