Mostly the usual suspects around the visitor center this afternoon. Good looks at the pair of Altamira Orioles for visitors from Minnesota. A bronzed Cowbird haunted the photo blind. White-tipped Dove are engaged in a wing-slapping behavior. Is this territorial or courtship? One lone Brown-headed Cowbird was feeding at the kiosk when a Sharp-shinned Hawk swooped in and grabbed him with one foot. The baby alligators behind the visitor center continue to be a big attraction. -- Donna Kelly, RV Volunteer Home is where you park it!
