Lots of bird activity in the park this morning! Chachalacas were singing their heads off, a pair of loud Red-crowned Parrots took off from the amphitheater area, and swifts and swallows were going nuts overhead. The bird walk enjoyed seeing some fledglings - we saw a family of Curve-billed Thrashers (the juveniles were not shy in the slightest ( http://flic.kr/p/efnNmT). A young White-eyed Vireo perched quietly as one of its parents foraged nearby (http://flic.kr/p/efnNkT). Still some migrants around as well - Ovenbird, Black-and-white Warbler, etc. Lots of *Empidonax *flycatchers were moving around as well, could ID couple but many remained unconfirmed.
