Just got back from my two days off work and was still pleasantly surprised that the painted redstart is still here (and very active) near the visitor center. I don't know about the long-tailed ducks and the black scoters. They probably are still in the bay but they may be hard to find if it gets windier and San Antonio Bay gets choppy. Also, our immature red-headed woodpecker was active in the live oaks near the entrance gate and is starting to get a full red head.
