Good afternoon, birders.
Sunny skies and warmer temperatures brought the passerines. Birding
today, we encountered lots of small flocks, with good looks at Northern
Beardless-Tyrannulets, several warbler species, and Altamira Orioles seemed to
follow us and sing for us. It was a delightful morning. Bird walks continue
daily - 8:30 am starting from the Visitor's Center.
