I birded Estero Llano Grande State Park and Frontera Audubon refuge today with
good birds found. Bird of the day was a Golden-winged Warbler at Frontera. It
was the first bird I focused my binoculars on, and thanks to my amazed stupor I
did not get a photograph. Oh well. Also at Frontera I found Wilson's, Yellow,
Black-and-white, Black-throated Green and Nashville warblers, and an Ovenbird,
Green Kingfishers (3), Mississippi Kites overhead (7), Olive-sided Flycatcher
(1), Great Crested flycatcher (2), Empid species (1), Gray Hawk (heard only),
and Yellow-crowned Night-heron.
At Estero highlights included Sora (2), Least Bittern, Belted Kingfisher,
Rufous Hummingbird, Black-chinned Hummingbird (?), Ruby-throated Humingbird
(8-10), and some nifty herons and egrets.
The day was cloudy, cool, windy, overcast, mosquito-ridden and rainy, but wow
it was fun.
