It was pretty foggy starting off this morning, but by around 9:30 the sun
broke through and cleared up the sky. It was an enjoyable morning - got
good looks at quite a few birds.
- Common Pauraque (off a trail in the east side of a park - best bet is to
go on a guided bird walk to find it)
- heard Tropical Kingbirds
- good looks at our local species of Carolina Wren (lomitensis)
- 2 American Robins flew into amphitheater feeding station
- Had a 4 hummingbird species morning (all around Front Hummingbird Garden)
