A Groove-billed Ani was an early-afternoon surprise at Pollywog Pond.  This
was our first day at Pollywog Pond and birding had been very decent in the
morning, so after a quick lunch break Dick and I headed back to see if
anything new turned up.  We parked in the lot on the right this time and
had just started walking when we heard the distinctive Ani call.  The bird
was staying pretty low in the grass and bushes and had it been silent we
would have missed out.  It did pop up for a couple quick looks.
